It is important to record your sales and close sales to comply with tax regulations in the event of an audit.
Almost all users are able to invoice on first contact with the software. It is easy and fast and everyone understands the nature of a sales invoice.
For quick tips read the INITIAL SETUP section and enjoy all the benefits of the system.
However, a large number of users stop after invoicing (YAY!! REVENUES!!!) without realizing the importance of completing the administrative sales cycle.
The law in CANADA states that a sales register must be kept and that it is illegal to manipulate or modify the register once the day is closed and the sales cycle is complete. (IE the customer left with his purchases and the money is deposited in the bank account)
A gray area allows the software to keep invoices open for a SHORT period (normally the day) in order to allow for corrections (payment incorrectly entered VISA instead of MASTER, etc.).
On the other hand, invoices SHOULD NEVER remain open forever because in the event of an audit, you could be in trouble.
The software has no deadline for closing and does not force the closing of sales because in some cases, it is a necessary option for 1-2-3-4-5 days when an invoice must be revised to add/modify or remove items.
It is the manager's responsibility to close his register.
The tax authorities are sensitive to possible manipulations in a sales register. This is why it is important to close the register as soon as the sale is final and completed.
Most of the time this is done in the evening or the next morning when preparing the deposit for the day of sale.
In addition, as long as your sales are open, they do not appear in the receivables and in the general ledger..
Do not wait for a visit or verification by the tax authorities to correctly record your sales because it is your profits that could take a hit. The fines are quite steep! Think about the Nickels restaurants... oh well, they no longer exist :(- |
