Till Variance

Overview

• Till Variance is an Advanced Report built from completed Till Closing records.
• Summary includes Closings, Absolute variance, Threshold breaches, and Xero failures.
• Rows show Total variance, Cash variance, Bank deposit, Opening → next opening cash, closing status, and a link to the detail.
• Absolute variance measures magnitude rather than allowing positive/negative differences to cancel each other out.

When to use this

• Use Till Variance to identify repeated cash-up problems or Xero closing-sync issues across days/Stores.

Step-by-step

1. Choose Store/date range.
2. Review Absolute variance and Threshold breaches.
3. Open rows with large variance.
4. Compare Cash variance with total variance/payment lines.
5. Check Opening → next continuity.
6. Resolve Xero failures from the Till Closing detail/integration workflow.

Common mistakes

• Do not add positive and negative variances and assume a near-zero net means there is no control issue.
• Do not assume every total variance is a cash error.
• Do not ignore repeated small variances merely because each one is below a single-event threshold.

Troubleshooting

• If a closing is missing, verify the report period uses the closing period/end date and correct Store.
• If Xero failures appear, the operational till close may still be valid; investigate sync separately.
