Can I add a cash transaction at a later date?

Basketcrazy — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 18:00:46 GMT

I want to add a cash transaction at a later date for reporting purposes only. Is this possible?

Not at this time, @Basketcrazy. There isn't a way to add or edit past transactions, but I know that would be useful. I'll share the feedback with our product team and update this thread if that changes in the future!

I am having the same issue! As a small business, occasionally cash payments fall by the wayside in the Square app when things get busy. I would like to add a few cash payments to my report from a few days ago, but there doesn't seem to be an option to do this. Very frustrating indeed.

Is there a way to go in to a day's sales report and add in sales?

Is there a way to go in to a day's sales report and add in sales? I catered an employee party for a company, and was paid by check a few days after the event. I didn't use register to track sales, but want revenue to show on the date of the event.

I would like to add a me too! to this question. Please consider an option to add later cash sales to a specific date so will account correctly. Also an optin to edit a receipt for some things such as category or location. Really need to be able to do this to maintain correct records as receipts do not always get entered correctly. thanks

When will this feature be available? Not having the ability to input cash payments at a later date seems ludacris, especially since I don't have staff to do this for me.

Currently we don't have a time line we can share regarding this feature request, @Rayahmora. I will pass your feedback along to our product team! If his changes in the future I will make sure to update the thread.

Me too! Please add this option asap if you can.

Agreed. I need this feature as well! Any status updates on whether and when this will be available?

Hey @JoyCakes, no updates yet. I will make sure to flag your post for the product team though!

If anything changes I will make sure to update the thread. 😃

Please add my name to the list to receive this update. I'm confused: how can I accurately keep track of inventory through Square if I cannot enter cash transactions?

Re: Can I add a cash transation at a later date?

Tom — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 23:26:13 GMT

Hey @alicia830, thanks for getting in touch.

You can still enter in cash payments, though they can't be backdated. You can also adjust your inventory manually when necessary. We do not have any updates on the ability to backdate, but be sure to subscribe to any topics that you want to keep an eye on — you'll receive a notification as soon as any news come through.

Hope this helps for now!

I know you stated Square is working on it, is there an approximate date for when this feature will be released?

Re: Can I add a cash transation at a later date?

barry818 — Sat, 05 Aug 2017 01:16:21 GMT

Square has no intention of allowing us to edit this field because it will create havoc and they won't admit to it. The solution is so simple. It is simply a date field in the database that defaults to today's date. Allowing us to edit creates a support nightmare.

When will this update occure?? It seems clients have been asking for your team to resolve this issue for over a yr and a half?

This should have been added by now this is an essential part of day to day operations. This is poor service considering the percentage rates that are being charged. Please stop beating around the bush, I does not appear to be proffesional business

practices to respond that your team is working on it and this far down the road have still to come to a resolution?

Re: Can I add a cash transation at a later date?

barry818 — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 15:01:41 GMT

Its simply a field in the database. Right now it defaults to today's date. If it were changed to allow any date, chaos would reign. It would take about 2 minutes to make this change.

PVS — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 15:24:14 GMT

Not sure exactly what you mean chaos would reign, I mean I understand backdating could potentially be an issue as it is changing previously financial data but that happens all the time in accounting and it is to fix a problem so needs to be available to business owners to make this adjustment. Perhaps making it limited, such as using only administrative codes obviously but maybe only allow to go back 1 week and only allow for cash transactions of course. Our team had been doing better making sure all the ash transactions are added correctly on the same day as it ocurs but still we have missed entries for cash as we use a separate receipting system so a square receipt isn't necessary. Please make this change available, however you want to safeguard it, just make it available and let us deal with the "chaos"

Hi @Community

I understand the frustration here, but there's nothing new to share around this specific feature at this time.

We don’t have plans to offer this feature right now, but that can change as we’re always collecting feedback and passing it along to our Product Team.

Seller advocacy is one of the top drivers for product updates, your feedback definitely has an impact on which features get prioritized.

If anything changes, we'll chime back in with an update.
