Transaction Reports

X and Z reports summarize transactions occurring on your Point of Sale. 

  • An X read / report shows all activities from opening (or since the last Z read) until when the report is run.  

  • A Z read / report covers all the periods' activities (generally a day) and resets the transaction count if you choose not to do a closeout. 

To see and print a report, follow these steps:

  • Select Menu - top right of the screen

  • Go to Settings - bottom right of the screen 

  • Go to Report

  • Choose the appropriate report

Closeouts

At the end of a day / sales period you might like to check your balance and compare with transactions on the POS to identify any discrepancies. 

Ensure that all baskets for the day are closed by clicking the basket name in the top right and ensuring that the list is empty of any uncompleted baskets you believe should be part of this closeout.

  • Then Go into Settings

  • Click on Report 

  • Click on "Close Out" - top right of the screen

  • Enter the cash float 

  • Enter the total quantities for the listed denominations. Do the same for card / cheque / voucher where appropriate.

  • Select ‘Done’ at the top right when finished. 

  • Then select ‘Continue’ when prompted to submit the Close Out.
