Automated end-of-day business reconciliation

Purpose

 1.1. Aggregate daily transaction data from all POS, payment, metering, and inventory systems for reconciliation.
 1.2. Detect anomalies in fuel dispensed, cash handled, digital payments, and inventory movement across shifts.
 1.3. Generate and dispatch end-of-day (EOD) summary reports to operations, management, and compliance teams.
 1.4. Reconcile discrepancies, flag manual interventions, and update ledgers in ERP/accounting platforms.
 1.5. Archive audit trails and ensure regulatory or tax compliance on all daily reconciliations.
 1.6. Reduce manual reconciliation labor, resolve EOD variances swiftly, and minimize reconciliation risks.

Trigger Conditions

 2.2. New POS batch closure event or automated meter reading at EOD.
 2.3. Inventory depletion threshold or tank monitoring alert at day close.
 2.4. Manual staff shift-closure action or reconciliation request via dashboard.
