# Close and Reconcile a POS Register

### How to Close and Reconcile a POS Register in Muhasib ERP

### Overview

This guide will help you close a POS register after reconciling expected and counted amounts by payment type.

Muhasib marks the register session closed and records the checking; variance and accounting treatment depend on settings.

### Who can do this

You need access to POS Register closing/checking and access to relevant sales and payment summaries.

### Before you start

Complete pending sales, returns, held transactions, offline synchronization, and approved cash movements. Count each payment type independently.

Open the POS register management or register-close action used by your deployment.
