How is the store opened & closed
The system DOES NOT require the store to be opened or closed. There is no function that requires a open or close step.
Financial transactions are set to the the current system date & time when the transaction is created. The store's time zone is set in Store Settings. A operator with adequate security may modify the date of a transaction from the receipt / ledger holding the transaction.
Most stores would however, required store operators to reconcile a day's business. This means the monies collected balance to the monies being deposited into the store's banks. EB provides reports to aid in the reconciliation.
