On each cash movement, you will find the exact time of the entry, the name of the user who entered it and the amount of the entered movement in the column on the right. Depending on the type of shift, a different colour is displayed. The "Income" movement is displayed with a "+" (plus) sign and the amount is displayed in blue. The "Outcome" movement is displayed with a "-" (minus) sign and is highlighted in red.
Below you will find three buttons - Enter state at the beginning, Add shift and Make close. The "Enter state at the beginning" button is only available after the close, once you enter the initial state or sell something in the application, it will change to black and it will not be possible to click on it.

If you have more than one tablet before the closure is complete, the application will alert you to check other devices as well. The closing cannot be edited afterwards, if unsynchronized operations remain on other devices. The closing would not reflect the correct sales.
