What are Payments, Adjustments, and Refunds?

A Payment is when you receive cash for a product or service. It's counted as Revenue.

A Refund is when you provide a cash refund back to a customer. It reduces Revenue.

An Adjustment is when you use or move cash for non-revenue purposes. Adjustments don't affect the Revenue count. Examples include:

  • Moving cash to the safe
  • Depositing cash in the bank
  • Using "petty cash", like buying office supplies or paying the window cleaner

To use Daily Revenue:

  2. Enter the values from your daily revenue sources. This is an example of what Daily Revenue may look like:
    Daily Revenue – enter values
  3. Tap Save.

If you need to change the list of sources, they are configurable by your organization's administrator in Settings.

The value in the "Cash" column comes directly from the Cash Register entries that you entered as part of Daily Cash Register tasks.
