I have a very strange situation. At a closing 3 Blind-Close-out (1 day = 3 shifts), we printed a detail report for a specific date and noticed that the total sales does not equal a blind close-out X-Report all 3 reports.
The details is $18,752.00 and the sum of teh X-Report displays $9.525.11
At this point we are comparing actual receipt sales to see what happened.
My question is, whats the recommended way to analyze this type of situation and where shoudl we be looking besides actual paper receipt?
There may have been some sales transactions AFTER the X report was printed, that would make the Z report be greater (if sales) or lower (if returns) than the X report. I have never seen a Z report printed immediately after the X report showing different numbers than the X report, as the X gives you exactly the same info the Z would, without closing the sales batch.
I use a custom report for Store Operations I created many moons ago to help me troubleshoot client closing issues. It allows you to filter by batch number, by day, etc. It shows a detail of the transactional info such as totals, sales tax, etc. (header info, no details)
Paste the following on a notepad and save as "Custom - Sales Transaction Journal.qrp" or something like that....run it from reports - custom. Hope this helps...
