Sales
How sale time works
Understand the Time field and when to change it.
The Add Sale page uses the current time by default. You can change the time if the sale happened earlier and you are recording it later.
When to keep the default time
- Keep the default time when you are recording the sale immediately.
- This is the simplest and safest option for daily records.
When to change the time
- Change the time if the sale happened earlier in the day.
- Change the time if you are entering missed sales from a receipt, notebook, or M-PESA statement.
- Change the time if the sale belongs to a previous trading day and your business day cut-off rules allow it.
Why time matters
- Sale time affects which trading day the sale belongs to.
- Trading day affects Dashboard totals, reports, weekly history, and discrepancy checks.
- Wrong sale time can make the correct sale appear on the wrong day.
