End-of-Day Procedure  

If your merchant account is set up for Merchant Close settlement, you must process a Batch Close transaction in order to have the funds from your POS transactions deposited to your business account. If your merchant account is set up for System Close settlement, Moneris automatically closes your batch for you at the end of each day. You must verify transaction totals on a daily basis.

If your terminal is set up as a semi-integrated device to work with your ECR...

Merchant Close

IMPORTANT:  At the end of each business day you must process a Close Batch transaction in order to have the funds from your POS transactions deposited to your business account.

You will need to perform three tasks:

Task 1:  Perform a debit/credit Stored Transactions report by batch on the terminal to be closed.

Task 2:  Perform a debit/credit Close Batch for a single terminal OR
If Multi-Terminal Reporting is enabled, a Multi-Terminal Report for a group of named terminals.

Task 3:  Compare the totals on the two reports.

If a Moneris Gift/Loyalty program is enabled on your terminal, at the end of each of the aforementioned debit/credit reports the PRINT ERNEX REPORT? prompt appears.

If you wish to print the equivalent gift/loyalty report and close the gift/loyalty batch immediately following the debit/credit operations: Press the key_f1-r.jpg key to select YES when the PRINT ERNEX REPORT? prompt or CLOSE ERNEX BATCH? prompt  appears respectively.

If you wish instead to close the gift/loyalty batch separately from the debit/credit batch, you will have to print the gift/loyalty Stored Transactions report and then close the gift/loyalty batch from the Ernex REPORT FUNCS menu.

If the Air Miles Rewards program is enabled on your terminal, reward transactions are saved on the terminal then forwarded to the Moneris Host in small groups. You do not need to process an administrative transaction in order to close Air Miles transactions. It is recommended, however, that you check at the end of the day to ensure all Air Miles Rewards transactions have been forwarded to the Moneris Host.

A. Check the REWARDS MENU to see if the SAF INQUIRY transaction appears.

• If it does not, all transactions have been forwarded.

• If it does, perform an UPLOAD SAF transaction.

B. Print a Reward Daily Totals report for your records.

 

System Close

You will need to perform three tasks:

Task 1: Print a Stored Transactions on the terminal to be closed.

Task 2: Print a Merchant Subtotals Report.

Task 3: Compare the totals on the two reports: Confirm that the totals on the Stored Transactions report (printed in Task 1) match the totals on the Merchant Subtotals report (printed in Task 2). If they do not match, call the Moneris Merchant Service Centre for reconciliation assistance.
