The end-of-day reconciliation report
Daily Takings answers the question every clinic asks at closing time: how much money came in today, and through which payment methods. It's built specifically for cashing up a single day at a single location — reconciling what's physically in the till, or what the card terminal batched out, against what ClinyPal actually recorded.
That single-day, single-location scope is intentional rather than a limitation. Cashing up is a per-shift, per-till discipline — mixing multiple days or locations into one total would defeat the purpose of a reconciliation report, which is to catch a discrepancy on the day it happens, at the location it happened at, before it gets buried in a longer date range. If you need totals across a range of dates, that's a different question, and Payment Summary is the report built for it.
- Daily Takings is scoped to one date and one location, by design
- The KPI tiles surface Total taken plus the day's top three payment methods
- The table breaks the day down by every payment method used, not just the top three
- It shares the standard report viewer shell — see Reading a Report for filters and layout basics
Filters
- <strong>Date</strong> — a single calendar date, not a range
- <strong>Location</strong> — one clinic location at a time
Clinics running more than one till or location on the same day typically run Daily Takings once per location rather than trying to combine them — that keeps each reconciliation matched to a single physical cash drawer or terminal batch.
What the KPI tiles tell you first
- <strong>Total taken</strong> — every payment recorded for the day, across all methods
- <strong>Top payment method #1, #2, #3</strong> — the day's three largest methods, each broken out into its own tile
Surfacing the top three methods as individual tiles, rather than making you read them off the table, is what makes this report fast to use at the end of a shift — you can confirm the biggest numbers at a glance before you ever look at the full breakdown. A healthy cash-up is one where Total taken and the sum of the payment-method table agree exactly; if a manual adjustment or a voided payment has happened during the day, that's usually where a mismatch traces back to.
Table: breakdown by payment method
| Payment method | Total |
|---|---|
| Cash | — |
| Card | — |
| Bank transfer | — |
Every payment method used on the selected day appears here, not only the top three highlighted in the KPI tiles above — a method that only saw a single small payment still gets its own row. This is the table to check line by line when a cash-up doesn't balance, since it lets you isolate exactly which method is off rather than troubleshooting the whole day's total at once.
