A voucher is a payment method within the IPA system used to settle order amounts. Specifically selected sub-types of vouchers will be visible in reports. Additionally, there's an auto-generated voucher setup that users must use to conclude a day, which cannot be removed. This auto-generated voucher is essential for day closure, since previously, only cash was available as an option. Many clients prefer not to use cash for day closure, and utilising the auto-generated voucher makes sales reporting more transparent and straightforward.

The user needs to click on the add button to add a voucher. The following pop-up should be displayed.
