Every revenue entry in nouz has cash and card as separate columns. The split isn't optional — it's what makes the transaction-fee math come out right. Knowing how to use it efficiently saves you typing every evening.
01 Why split the day into cash and card?
Because the transaction-fee percentage is applied to card revenue only. If you lumped cash and card together as a single number, the fee math would either over-charge cash or under-charge card — neither is accurate. Splitting BAR (cash) from EC (card) is what lets nouz apply the fee to exactly the right portion of the day and land on a correct net revenue figure.
02 How do I log cash and card on one row?
The default revenue entry form has two fields side-by-side: BAR for cash, EC for card. Type both — the fee % applies to EC only, and net revenue is computed correctly. If you only had cash that day, leave EC at 0; for an all-card day, leave BAR at 0. The form accepts zeros without complaint, so one row covers almost every day.
If you only had cash that day (no card transactions), leave EC at 0. Same the other way — leave BAR at 0 for an all-card day. The form accepts zeros without complaint.
03 When should I split a day into two rows?
Most of the time, one row is fine. Two rows on the same day make sense when you want to track different revenue contexts separately — a morning versus evening shift your accountant wants to see, two staff handovers each closing their own till, or a pop-up event running alongside regular service. Each row stands on its own and the fee math runs per row, so the totals stay correct either way. The cases are below.
- Morning vs evening shift — if your accountant wants to see the split.
- Two different staff handovers — each closing their own till independently.
- Pop-up event + regular service on the same date.
Each row stands on its own in the P&L; their cash + card columns sum independently. The fee math runs per row, which means it's correct whether you split or not.
04 How do the day's totals reconcile?
However you split — one row or many — the day's totals reconcile cleanly. Day gross is the sum of every row's cash + card; day fees are the sum of each row's card times its fee% snapshot from save time; and day net is day gross minus day tax minus day fees. You can confirm it yourself by comparing the per-entry totals on the Revenue list against the day's P&L line — they always match.
- Day gross = sum of all rows' cash + card.
- Day fees = sum of (each row's card × fee% snapshot at that row's save time).
- Day net = day gross − day tax − day fees.
You can verify this by comparing the per-entry totals on the Revenue list against the day's P&L line. They'll always match.
