About legal or tax advice

Please be sure to take note of the following information!
 orderbird does not offer legal or tax advice. All information with legal or tax aspects is in no way to be viewed as legal or tax advice.

In order to provide you with the most reliable instructions possible, our cooperation partner, the tax law firm Buder (https://steuerbuder.de) from Berlin, has examined the procedure described below for dealing with the orderbird cashbook and found it to be correct with regard to aspects relevant to tax law . However, it may be that this approach is not suitable for you and your business in particular.

Therefore, be sure to contact your tax advisor for a binding statement on how to use the orderbird cashbook correctly for yourself. Both orderbird and the Buder tax law firm exclude liability for the timeliness, correctness and completeness of the information that orderbird provides here with regard to tax procedures.

 

Let's go

It is closing time right away! Time to end the day. First you do a cash balance check via “balance drawer”. Then you close the calendar day using “Cclose current drawer”. Complete!

Always close the cash sheet manually

The cash sheet will NEVER close automatically. Not even if you end the shift on the MINI . So please remember that after the shift ends, you still do the checkout in the menu and the day-end closing in your orderbird cashbook!

 

step by step

  1. Close the shift in the menu on the MINI.
  2. Go to the cashbook and tap on “balance drawer” and be sure to check the cash balance in your cash register with the counting report. You can find out how to do this here: How do I do cash balancing?
  3. If you notice any discrepancies between the target and actual inventory, this is your chance to make up for forgotten entries or write a correction entry. In doing so, you align the target stock with the actual stock in your cash register. Remember to substantiate and comment on everything carefully! This is how you make a correction entry . Save the result of your checkout before making a correction entry.
  4. If the actual stock of your cash register matches the target stock, then save the result of your cash register fall and tap on “close current drawer” on the main page of the cashbook. 
     

No further cash receipts or cash expenditures possible after closing the drawer

You cannot enter any further cash receipts or cash expenses for a closed drawer, because according to legal requirements, the completed cash sheet can no longer be adjusted or manipulated. If you notice an error afterwards, please contact your tax advisor and clarify how best to deal with it.

Check with your tax advisor if the following process makes sense for you: How can I correct entries or integrate forgotten entries?
