Hi,In Odoo 17 Point of Sale, controlling opening and closing controls is an essential part of cash management. When starting a shift, cashiers input their login credentials and the first quantity of cash. This process ensures that financial transactions have a clear start. Every purchase, return, and other cash-related activity throughout the shift is meticulously recorded, creating an audit trail for every transaction.

When the shift is done, the cashier closes the shift in the Odoo 17 Point of Sale application. This process allows the cash balance to be easily compared to the actual cash in the drawer because the cash balance is calculated by the system using recorded transactions.
