POS & day close settings

Settings → POS & Day Close holds the counter defaults: whether a shift is mandatory at all, how far credit can stretch, and which accounts day-close cash-outs post to.

Shift mode

Require an open shift is on by default — the POS locks until a cashier opens a shift with an opening float, and day close reconciles the drawer.

Turn it off for khata mode: shops that mostly sell on credit skip the drawer ritual — a zero-float shift opens automatically (carried float is kept), the POS never locks, and day close stays available as an optional daily sales summary.

Credit sales

• Default credit limit — applied to customers without their own limit, and prefilled when adding one. 0 means no limit.
• When a sale exceeds the limit — Block refuses it at the till; Warn shows a warning the cashier can override. A customer's own limit still wins — see customers & credit.

Cash settlement accounts

At day close, the counted cash splits into "kept as float" and cash-out rows — each posts Dr the chosen account / Cr Cash. Set where each kind goes:

Closing float

Suggested closing float is the hint shown at close — the amount normally left in the drawer for the next shift.
