Do you need to closedown your year-end in Tali. Although this is not necessary for Till, closing down a year will speed up your searching in Tali generally. Here's how to do this.
Closing down a Tali instance that is used solely for Till (POS) purposes is advised to speed up your Tali software but not essential.
