How business day cut-off time affects reports and dashboard figures

Learn why today, week, month and history figures depend on the cut-off time.

Bizwazi uses your business day cut-off time when showing dashboard totals, history, and reports.

Steps

  • The dashboard shows figures for the current trading day, not just the normal calendar day.
  • Daily reports use the trading day rule so late-night records can stay with the correct business day.
  • Weekly and monthly reports are built from those trading-day records.
  • If you change the cut-off time, records near midnight may appear under a different trading day.
  • This is why Bizwazi recommends choosing the cut-off time carefully before entering lots of live data.

Useful tips

  • If yesterday’s figures look different after changing the cut-off time, check records around midnight.
  • Use the same cut-off rule for sales, expenses, transfers, and daily balances.
  • For normal daytime businesses, 00:00 is usually the simplest option.
