What the business day cut-off time means

The business day cut-off time tells Bizwazi when one trading day should end and the next one should begin.

Steps

• Many small businesses do not work neatly from midnight to midnight.
• A shop, kiosk, bar, restaurant, salon, delivery business, or late-night business may close after midnight.
• If your cut-off time is 06:00, then activity from 00:00 to 05:59 can still belong to the previous trading day.
• This helps Bizwazi group sales, expenses, transfers, balances, reports, and dashboard figures into the business day that makes sense for your operation.
• The cut-off time is especially important for daily cash-up, discrepancy checks, weekly history, monthly reports, and profit reviews.

Useful tips

• Use 00:00 if your business follows normal calendar days.
• Use 02:00, 04:00, or 06:00 if your business closes late or works overnight.
• Avoid changing the cut-off time often after you have started entering real records.
