Store configuration and reconciliation of third-party delivery sales.
This brief has been designed to explain how to correctly enable the use of Third-party delivery services within Aura, identifying incorrectly captured orders and incorporate additional fail-safes for the daily cashup.
Below are the steps required to properly configure Third-party sale support for your system and to properly reconciliate your Third-party sales
Configure proper Third-party support
1. Set up the Third-party module correctly
Please read and follow through the below help article on the process of setting up, enabling and configuring your the proper Third-party delivery plugin. It’s essential that this plugin is used.
2. Blind cashup setting
Blind cashup prevents the cashup screen from showing the Net Sales, Gross Sales, Credit Cards, GRVs paid from till, or whether the till is over/under. This ensures the cashier captures amounts honestly.
Blind cashup needs to be enabled for every till device that performs a cashup.
Open Invoicing and click Settings
In settings, click Specific Computer > Invoicing Settings.
Cashups on tills with Blind Cashup enabled will look like this:
Reconciliation recommendations
1. Using the Shop Cashup Summary Report by Date
On this report, Third-party payments will show under Other Payments. The second page of the cash up report will show a more detailed breakdown of any MrD and Uber sales.
Note that Uber & MrD totals will include Shooshi from both MrD and Uber and therefore their invoices must also be checked on their platform to properly recon.
2. Using the Till Cashup Detail report
Invoices can also be reconciled with the invoices on the Third-party platform, and the amounts must correspond with the cash up report.
MrD
The amounts displayed on your MrD platform summary should correspond with your totals on your Till Cashup Detail / Shop Cashup Summary reports.
Should the total not match – discrepancies can be picked up by reconciling individual invoice totals.
Example
This invoice is posted as MrD but does not reflect on the MrD portal. This should be flagged and investigated.
MrD Shooshi
In this example, the MrD Shooshi platform reflects the R205.80 amount that was not reflecting under the MrD platform above.
3. Using the New sales by customer report
The New Sales by Customer report is a great report to use to reconcile Third-party sales. the below guide explains where to find and how to use the report.
