The batch didn't close last night

An open batch means yesterday's sales haven't been sent for funding. Here's how to close it by hand.

What's happening

Your terminal is set to close its batch automatically overnight. When that doesn't happen — usually because the terminal was off or offline at the time — the sales sit in an open batch and won't fund until it closes. You'll normally notice it as a missing deposit.

Before you start

  • Print or pull yesterday's totals from your POS so you have a number to compare
  • Do this before you start taking today's sales if you can

Fix it

  1. From the idle screen, press the menu key.
  2. Choose Reports, then Batch total. Write the number down.
  3. Compare it with your POS total for the same day. They should match to the cent.
  4. If they match: go back, choose Settlement, then Close batch.
  5. Wait for the confirmation slip to print. Keep it.
  6. If they don't match, stop here. Don't close it — call us.

Did that work?

Yes — the funds move on the next banking day.

No — if the close fails, note the error and call us.

Stop and call us

Call if the totals don't match, if the batch has been open more than one day, if the close fails with an error, or if the batch closed but the deposit still doesn't appear after two banking days.
