X Report

A summary report of the day’s takings so far, such as sales totals and refunds, etc. It can be run any time during a trading day without resetting the day’s information.

Z Report

The Z report is run at the end of each trading day. It shows the grand totals of takings that day. Please note, it will also reset all the day’s activities so a new trading day can start with fresh numbers. If you wish to know takings so far, without interfering with the current totals, an X report can be run at any time.


End of day reconciliation

This process connects to your acquiring bank, and releases the daily funds from your merchant account, to your business bank account.

Please ensure the terminal is switched on overnight, as the EOD reconciliation is automatically completed between 10pm and midnight daily.

1. From sales screen, click the back arrow

2. Select Others

3. Select Batch

4. Select Settle/End of day

5. Enter the merchant password (the default is 0000)

6. If asked, select All Hosts if using AMEX
