End of Day print outs

On the Till screen usually on the left you will have a button “End of Day”

Pressing this produces certain reports on the till receipt printer, see below.

General Principals

Pressing End of Day does not re-set the figures to Zero – so for instance it is no problem to press the button at lunch time to get a summary of sales up to that point. The records come to Zero and start again for the next day at midnight, so the important End of Day is simply the one done after you have served the last customer. It is possible for us to amend the end of day cut off time, e.g. to 2am if our client is a club,open late.

Reports

Usually when a machine is installed we will discuss with our clients which reports they require, and the button is programmed appropriately. It is easy to amend later if required. Typically there will be –

• ZSale – lists all sales by product. Can be a long list on a busy day, so some clients ask for –
• Zsale by department – lists all sales grouped by Department, one figure for each department. You can have both of course
• ZRead – A breakdown of how the days  sales have been paid for, usually Cash and Card. Will also record Petty cash. Z sale and Z read will be the same, they are recording the same sales just broken down differently.
• Cash Declaration – a breakdown listing all notes and coins can be part of the end of day proceedure. The list appears on screen for the cashier to input the amounts, then it will print out on the receipt printer. Some clients do not use this as they have their own cash records

It is also possible to have, for instance, the Zread to appear on the screen rather than print out – you will have a button in the admin section called Display Z Read.

Re-prints can also be done retrospectively. E.g. if you have a button “Re print ZRead”, pressing it will reveal a screen like this –

Today is Friday. We wanted to look again at Wednesdays Zread, so touched within Wednesday, and a green Print bar appeared. If we now press OK, Wednesday and Friday will print. Pressing on Wednesday again, the green bar will disappear, if we really wanted Tuesday, touch that and and the Print bar will appear. Whatever is in green will print when you press OK, unless you select Just today. The scroll bar on the right of the screen or the calendar on the left can be used to pick dates further back in time.

If you forget to print end of day reports, when you press the button tomorrow you will go to a calendar like the one above, and the same principles apply, allowing you to print both days if required.
