Audit Reports

Print

Chapter 1. Bills

The Bill Report will show you bills for the given reporting range. Tap a bill and see the bill’s details. You can download this report as a CSV by clicking the CSV icon at the top of the report chart.

Click Show Week to show a specific seven day period. Click Show Day to return to day mode. Click the Calendar control in the top right to select another day or the last day of the desired week.

Section 1. Sort

Click the Sort By drop-down box if you want to sort bills by Date, Order Number, or Sales Total. Sales Total is a good way to see, say, your highest and lowest bills for the period.

Chapter 2. Bills with Outstanding Balances

The Bills with Open Balances report will report on any bills that were closed but later their integrated credit card payment was voided.

If you select a closed bill’s View/Edit Payments option, some integrations give you a Void Payment option. A payment void is usually used when you make a major payment error. You need to delete the payment and start again with a new bill. When payments are voided, the payment details are deleted from the batch and never submitted. The actual closed bill is not deleted, however. It remains so you can use the closed bill as a record as to what payment error you need to correct.

This report will not show bills that have had full/partial refunds or refunded using the Refund Sale option.

Chapter 3. Payments

Payments gives you two bar charts over the given reporting range. You can download this report as a CSV by clicking the CSV icon at the top of the report chart. The Payments report displays the total amount of money (from purchases, taxes, tips, and auto grats) that has come into your venue for the given reporting range.

The By Payment Type table gives you sales figures for each menu item. You can sort by:

Cash Tips
