Configure Sales Point Closing

In the bessa Kassa Manager, you can individually configure the cash sales point closing (daily closing) for your sales point. Define when a business day starts and ends, at which interval the closing is performed, and whether it should be executed automatically and sent via email.

The cash sales point closing – also known as daily closing, end-of-day report, or Z-report – documents all revenue and transactions for a defined accounting period and is an essential part of proper cash sales point management.


Prerequisites

  • You need access to the bessa Kassa Manager.

  • The sales point you want to configure must be set up as a main sales point.

Main sales point and sub-terminals: The cash sales point closing settings are part of the shared settings of a main sales point. Sub-terminals automatically inherit the closing configuration from their associated main sales point. Separate configuration per sub-terminal is not possible. For more information, see Sales Points.


Settings Overview

The "Sales Point Closing" tab contains five configuration fields:

Day Start

Property

Value

Type

Text field (time format)

Format

HH:MM:SS

Default value

00:00:00

Defines the start of the business day for the cash sales point closing. All transactions from this time onward are assigned to the current accounting period.

Tip for nightlife businesses: Businesses that operate past midnight (e.g., bars, clubs) can set the day start to a later time, such as 06:00:00. This way, revenue from the night shift is still attributed to the previous day.

Day End

Property

Value

Type

Text field (time format)

Format

HH:MM:SS

Default value

23:59:59

Defines the end of the business day for the sales point closing. Transactions after this time are included in the next accounting period. When automatic closing is enabled, the cash sales point closing is triggered at this time.

Closing Interval

Property

Value

Type

Dropdown

Default value

Daily

Options

Daily, Weekly, Monthly

Defines the interval at which the cash sales point closing is performed:

  • Daily (recommended): The closing is created every day. This corresponds to the classic daily closing or Z-report and is the recommended setting for most businesses.

  • Weekly: The closing summarizes an entire week.

  • Monthly: The closing is created once per month.

Note on cash sales point compliance: In Austria, according to the Federal Tax Code (BAO) and the Cash sales point Security Ordinance (RKSV), a daily cash sales point closing is recommended, especially for businesses with predominantly cash transactions. Consult your tax advisor regarding the requirements applicable to your business.

Automatic Closing

When enabled, the cash sales point closing is performed automatically according to the configured closing interval and day end time. You no longer need to manually trigger the closing at the sales point.

Recommendation: Enable automatic closing to ensure that no daily closing is missed. This is particularly useful for businesses with rotating staff.

Automatic Email Sending

When enabled, the cash sales point closing is automatically sent via email to the stored address. This is especially convenient for tax advisors, managers, or owners who want to review the closing without accessing the system.

Configure email address: The email address for report delivery is not configured directly in the sales point settings but in the "Email for Reports" field at the location or company level:

  • Location level: Locations – applies to all sales points at this location

  • Company level: Companies – serves as fallback if no location value is defined


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between cash sales point closing and daily closing?

The terms are often used interchangeably. A daily closing refers to the closing at the end of a business day. Cash sales point closing is the broader term, as bessa Kassa also allows weekly or monthly closing intervals to be configured. The generated document is also referred to as a Z-report.

Can I still perform the closing manually if automatic closing is enabled?

Yes. Automatic closing supplements the manual option but does not replace it. You can trigger the cash sales point closing manually at the sales point at any time. For more information on performing the closing, see Cash sales point Closing.

Why can't I edit the closing settings on my sub-terminal?

The cash sales point closing configuration is part of the shared settings controlled by the main sales point. Adjust the settings on the associated main sales point – all connected sub-terminals will inherit them automatically.

Which email address is used for automatic sending?

The closing is sent to the address stored under "Email for Reports". This is configured at the location level (Locations) or company level (Companies).

Which closing interval is right for my business?

For most businesses, especially in hospitality and retail, the "Daily" setting is recommended. This provides a daily overview of revenue and payment methods. The "Weekly" or "Monthly" options are suitable for businesses with low transaction volumes.
