Why does the "Sales" amount on the Z Report not the same as the amounts displayed in the "Shift" section?
Or better yet, why does the sum of (Sales+Returns+Tax+etc.) not the same as Shift? Shift supposed to display all activity of the particular shift
There has to be a document that can explain and shed some light on the Z Report?
The shift numbers are TENDER totals. It records the total cash,checks, credit receipts, etc that should be in the drawer for the shift.That would include money taken in from sales (including taxes remitted), deposits, account payments, layaway paymetns, etc. It would be reduced by refunds, deposits returned, paid outs, etc. There is a correlation to sales, but you would need to take into account all non-sales tender transactions.
It would be something like: Sales + Tax + Returns + Deposits made - deposits redeemed + paid on layaway - layaway closed + account payments - sales on account.
As for documentation, I don't think you will find that. If you have a real-world example that you want to reconcile, I'd be happy to help out.
