What this page is for
A trading day opens a store for business and closes it at the end, recording its opening and closing stock position at each end. Trading days lists every one that has run, newest first, showing the store, when it opened and who by, when it closed and who by, and whether it is still Open.
Closing a trading day can need an approved stock count first, depending on how often the store is set to count — see Trading day for the detail. Trading itself is never blocked by this; only the close of the day is.
Everyone whose role can view till sessions sees this page. Opening and closing a trading day need a role that can operate the till.

Worked examples
Butchery that also roasts meat
Mama Njeri's Butchery opens a trading day for its shop store each morning before the first customer, and closes it each evening once the till is reconciled. The list shows yesterday's row as closed and today's as Open.
Supermarket
Tumaini Supermarket runs three stores from one back office. The manager opens each store's trading day separately each morning, and the list shows all three side by side, each with its own opened time and opener's name.
