Workflows
Demo Path
Demo Path lays out a sample South African deposit sequence from till close to bank confirmation. It is meant to show the reading order for references, timing checks, and recon notes before anyone files the day’s banking.
From cash-up to bank stamp
Demo Path is a simple example of how a South African deposit flow should read from cash-up to bank confirmation. It shows the basic order of references, cut-off checks and reconciliation notes without adding unnecessary banking admin.
The route starts with the payment channel used that day, then moves to the cut-off that governs it. Cash bags, EFT batches, card settlement reports, and proof-of-payment checks do not land in the ledger the same way. Keep those steps in the right order for branch deposits, merchant settlements, and office-side recon in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, and smaller South African towns.
The first record matters because it ties the amount to a time, a handler, and a reference before the deposit moves. File the slip, receipt, or handover note with the cash-up pack while the figures are still fresh. Later disputes are easier to trace when the earliest evidence sits beside the day’s takings and not in a separate chat thread.
What Demo Path leaves behind
This example ends with a usable sequence for naming references, checking banking windows, and filing proof in the same place each time. Demo Path also shows where to note exceptions such as split deposits, late card batches, or a branch visit pushed to the next business day. The point is to keep recon readable when statements, merchant reports, and cash-up sheets are compared side by side.
Match Demo Path to the wider Workflows note before adding extra branches or payment types. Check the amount, account reference, and handover details again before a runner or courier leaves the site. For a deposit query, give us the account holder name, the branch and the amount you banked.

SA timing points inside the example
Demo Path must reflect actual trading and banking conditions, not a generic office routine. That includes airport travel around OR Tambo, warehouse cash runs in Germiston, city-centre branch closing times, and shopping-centre collection windows. Where a business deposits daily, the example should separate the standing pattern from unusual once-off amounts that need their own tracking note.
Weather, distance, and power interruptions all affect how a deposit day unfolds in South Africa. Coastal humidity can change how cash packs are stored before a branch drop, while inland travel time can shift who signs off and when. Load shedding also interrupts confirmation emails, terminal batching, and access to banking portals, so Demo Path treats the banking window as a fixed control point.

Information to attach to Demo Path
Add the account reference, deposit rail, branch or platform used, and the cut-off that applied on that date. Also note any mismatch that triggered the example, such as an unpaid EFT, a card batch not yet settled, or a cash deposit showing under the wrong reference. Those details make the sample route useful when finance reviews the file later.
The page reads best when kept with the day’s cash-up, the deposit proof, and any remittance advice linked to the same amount. Filing all three together on the day avoids guesswork at month-end. When the bookkeeper asks why a figure landed late, Demo Path should show the reason in sequence.
