What is a blind close and why does it matter?

A blind close is the way the console asks you to count the drawer without showing you the expected balance. That keeps you from “tidying up” the count and leaves the difference visible to the owner.

In one line · The cashier counts bill by bill, submits, and only then sees whether it came out balanced, over or short.

The step-by-step flow

When it's time to close the register, the console shows a screen with slots to count each denomination. The expected balance — what the system computed from sales, discounts, refunds and shift movements — stays hidden.

# Structure of a blind close
POST /tenants/:tnt/sedes/:sede/cierres { "session_id": "ses_pv_001824", "denominaciones": { "100000": 2, "50000": 6, "20000": 3, "10000": 4, "5000": 2, "2000": 5, "1000": 10, "500": 12, "200": 18, "100": 24 }, "ciego": true }

What happens if there's a difference

The difference is recorded in the cash-control report, not in a separate notebook. The system marks it short, balanced over and stores the who-and-when in the log.
