Depending on your activity, you may need to perform a daily cash desk closing. The cash closing is similar to the cash count, in which the cash in the cash register is accounted for.
For example, let's say you work in a store, and you started your day with a cash balance of 100 euros. Throughout the day, you have made a number of sales and generated several tickets. At the end of the day, the amount invoiced and resulting from this set of tickets should be equal to the amount in the cash register minus the initial balance of 100 euros. Following the example above, if, at the end of the day, you have 600 euros in the cash desk, and you subtract the initial balance of 100 euros, the remaining 500 euros would have to coincide with everything you have generated in cash. This operation is important and will help you to check if the cash balance is correct if the changes have been made correctly, etc.
After checking that everything matches, the next step is to leave the cash account with the balance you want to start the next day's activity with. For this reason, you will have to make an entry to unload the cash in favor of a deposit in the bank. We explain how to perform this operation below.
