Understanding Sales Overview & Reporting

The Review Sales function lets you look at previous sales on the current till. You can:

  • Print invoices and bills
  • Reprint kitchen order dockets
  • Recall held sales
  • Refund or reverse transactions
  • Change payment methods

📖 What this means: “Held sales” are transactions started but not finalised. “Finalised” means payment is complete.

Finding Previous Sales

You can find sales from this till or any connected till in the last 2 weeks, as long as the local database is intact.

  • Use Previous Day, Next Day, or Select Date to navigate.
  • Sales list shows: time, table number, tab/customer name, clerk, total, and status.
  • Selecting a sale shows details and enables function buttons.

Applying Filters

  • Press Display filters to show available filters
  • Sales update automatically based on filter changes

Sales display only if they match all active filters.

Only My SalesShows sales processed by the logged-in clerk
Only this POSShows sales from current till only (default)
Only Open SalesShows non-finalised sales (HELD, SAVED, IN PROGRESS)

💡 Tip: Use text search to find partial card numbers or customer details quickly.

⚠️ Important: “Only Open Sales” helps find sales blocking your shift check.


Shift Reports and End-of-Shift Actions

Shift checks and shift reports help you track sales totals and reconcile cash at the end of shifts.

  • Shift Check (X Read): View running totals without resetting
  • Shift Report (Z Read): Print totals, perform cash count, and reset for next shift

💡 For complete shift report and cash reconciliation instructions, see the next article below.


Common Questions

  • Can I review sales from another till?

    Yes — connected tills in the same location via device mesh, provided the database has the sales.

  • Can I recall a finalised sale?

    No — only held, in progress, or cancelled sales can be recalled.

  • Can I change a payment method after printing?

    Yes — but not for integrated eftpos. Use the Change Payment Method button for eligible sales.

💡 Tip: Always check the sale status before attempting to recall or adjust payment.



Next Steps
