Most shops accept this as "normal". It is not.
A LKR 750 daily variance feels small at the counter. But over 300 days across 2 cashiers, it becomes LKR 450,000 per year in untracked cash. In iShopMaster, every discrepancy is logged automatically as a financial event with a reference number — the moment the cashier closes their shift.
How iShopMaster Handles This
At shift close, the expected cash is derived from the accounting ledger — not from a running total.
Your cashier counts the physical cash and enters the amount.
The difference is automatically logged as a financial discrepancy event with a reference number.
Every discrepancy is visible on the manager dashboard immediately — not discovered at month-end.
