Z Report ?

Can some be so kind as to expalin to me the proper way to do a Z Report.

1) Enter the opening amount at the start of the day 2) Enter closing amounts at the end of the day (Now what is this amount, the amount that is kept in the till or the amount you count for the day?) 3) Finally, print a z report

Thanks in advance

What we do and you can modify however you need is the following: We count the draw open.(for us a set opening amount) At closing we count it again entering everything in the drawer. After this initial count we run an X report. X reports allow you to change closing information in case one tender type is off. It will tell exactly which type(s) off and by how much. At this point after the X balances to a certain point we remove everything tendered for the day that is above the opening amount. Here is when we run the Z report. For easy purposes we open the drawer with $100. At closing time we look at the cash, subtract $100 and that leaves all the remaining cash as tender for the day. So here's an example in cash I wasn't clear. open $100.00 Closing totals: cash $328.52 checks $102.98 credit cards $ 567.23

We would pull for closing $228.52 ($328.52-$100), checks $102.98, credit cards $567.23 Thus leaving $100 in cash in the drawer for opening the next day.

Hope this helps.
