Let me see if i can better describe what the problem with the blind closeout is. It is indeed a problem, and it is something that should be corrected. Let me create a scenerio for you...



It is the night of Wednesday January 25th, we create a blind closeout so we can perform the Z at a later time. It is the night of Thursday January 26th, we create a blind closeout so we can perform the Z at a later time. It is the night of Friday January 27th, we create a blind closeout so we can perform the Z at a later time.



Come Saturday January 28th, the Manager is going to close the Z's for all of the open blind close outs.



The Manager selects Wednesday January 25th batch and enters the closing amounts and prints a Z-report. This is what is printed on the Z Report... Report Date 1/28/2006 Report Time 10:09:22AM Start Date 1/24/2006 Date 1/28/2006 Time 10:09:21:AM



The Manager selects Thursday January 26th batch and enters the closing amounts and prints a Z-report. This is what is printed on the Z Report... Report Date 1/28/2006 Report Time 10:11:22AM Start Date 1/25/2006 Date 1/28/2006 Time 10:11:21:AM



The Manager selects Friday January 27th batch and enters the closing amounts and prints a Z-report. This is what is printed on the Z Report... Report Date 1/28/2006 Report Time 10:15:22AM Start Date 1/26/2006 Date 1/28/2006 Time 10:15:21:AM



So now we have 3 Z-reports for 3 serperate days. But none of the Z-reports show what day that Z-report belongs to. On the Z-report, it should show the date and maybe even the time that the blind closeout took place.



We have 3 Z-reports in our hands now, and they all show the same information, which Z-report is for which day?

When you Z out the blind close it updates the report time. That is the close time for the blind close. Meaning that information doesn't exist anymore. The blind close is intended to get the cashier out of the way so the next shift can come in and start using the pos immediately. Then you go to the office and count down the drawer. It is not intended to wait 3 or 4 days. How are you able to enter closing ammounts 3 days later and know they are accurate? You are also able to tell by the start date of the batch which one it is.
