Business Day Functions

To start a business day, log onto a terminal that has had the day close function performed on it. Depending on the
logon method, it may be as simple as a user performing transactions to entering a logon ID and password.
Performing the day close
You have a deadline to perform the day close. This is called your balancing window and it is set on the system.
If your day close is done before your balancing window ends, you'll receive same or next business day deposit
for credit and debit card totals. Otherwise, they will be forwarded to the next business day.
A day close is automatically performed on your terminal every three to five business days if one isn't performed sooner
by you.
You must close your business day on each terminal in order to maintain accurate records and balance your
accounts. Closing the business day is important as it:
• Sends any stored transactions (SAFs)
• Closes all open batches
• Prints selected reports
