# Closing Procedures - Best Practices WinPOS

### **Overview** 

 Here is a quick break down of the Best Practices for Closing Procedures on the Win POS.  We have broken down the steps into a Simple to Advanced list depending on the way you operate your Business.

Please note that these reports are available for current day only on the POS. CAS Reports include the Real Time Sales Report with a breakdown of tenders and Cash Balance Report and can be filtered for any date/time, so you are able to access the sales and cash data for past days if the daily reports are not run. 

### A Very Simple Closing - After your last Sale...

1. **Run your** [**Daily Sales Summary Report**](https://retailcloud.gitbook.io/point-of-sale/windows-pos-winpos/reports/daily-sales-summary/daily-sales-summary-description) - running this report not only provides your Sales details for the Day, but it also runs a Sync to CAS to ensure all of your Sales Information has pushed to CAS. 

             **POS --> Reports --> Daily Sales Summary**

   2\. **Logout of the POS**
