Reports Manager

Reports are based on a period such as a shift, a day, a month, or a year in which sales are made.

Overview

Reports are based on a period such as a shift, a day, a month, or a year in which sales are made. These reports show sales on a system-wide basis while Cashier reports apply only to a single cashier on a single register.

Using Reports Menu

Navigate to CSR Func > Reporting Menu from the POS (While in Sales, CSR Func can be located on the right-hand side bottom corner of the screen on Topaz and bottom of the screen on Ruby2) to access the following Reporting functions:

Key points to remember:

  • Closing a report does not automatically print the report. The Print Report functions print the reports.

  • Cashier Close affects only that register.

  • A Period Close closes all registers for inside and outside sales.

  • Closing a period closes that period as well as any lower level periods. For example, “Close Day” function automatically runs a “Close Shift”.

  • Flash Reports provide current information for Period 1 (Shift) without closing.
