Close the day's collection

At the end of each day, count the money taken at the fee counter and close the day in EduHost. This helps you check that the cash in hand matches what EduHost recorded.

Before you start

• Finish taking all fees for the day. See the article Collect a fee at the counter.
• If you gave any money back today, record it first. See the article Refund a fee.
• Keep the cash and cheques from the counter with you.

Steps

1. In the sidebar, open Fees → Count cash.
2. Look at what EduHost shows as collected today.
3. Count the cash and cheques you have at the counter.
4. Check that your count matches the amount in EduHost.
5. If it does not match, check today's receipts and refunds before you go on.
6. When the amounts match, use the button on the page to close the day.

A quicker way from the dashboard

On your Dashboard, the Things to do today list may show Close today's cash, with the amount collected today. Click Close day to go there directly.

Good to know

• The Fees collected today box on the dashboard shows today's total after refunds. It also shows how much came by cash, online and other ways.
• Money that parents pay online is not in your drawer. Count only what was paid at the counter.
• If you cannot see Count cash, your role may not include it. Ask your school admin. They can change what your role can do under Roles & Permissions.
