Read the Z report

Print a day's Z report on the till, or open it in the console, and what each part of it means.

The Z report is the record of one closed day at one branch: what was sold, the VAT on it, how it was paid, and whether the cash and the card terminals matched. Each close gets its own number, such as Z no. 42.

The till prints it on receipt paper. The console shows the same day in more detail and lets you download it.


Print it on the till

  • Right after closing the day: tap Z report on the summary, then Print.

  • Later the same day: tap Actions, then Close the day. The till shows Day closed. Tap Z report, then Print. Earlier days are listed under Earlier Z reports.

  • Any day: open it in the console, below.

Without a receipt printer, the till says "Set up a receipt printer to print this."

Sales summary and Payment report, also under Actions, show the day so far. They say Not a closing report and change until the day is closed.


Open it in the console

  1. Open Reports and select Z-report.

  2. Choose the Business date and the Branch.

While the day is still open, the console shows "The day is still going, so these figures will change until it closes."


What's on it

  • Day close: under To check, what is still left to look at for the day, each with What to do. A cash difference kept at the close shows here with its reason. Nothing to check for this day. means the close is complete.

Who can see it

Owners, business managers, branch managers and accountants see reports in the console. On the till, anyone signed in can print the day's reports.


If something goes wrong

  • Sales arrived after the day closed. A till that was offline sends its sales when it's back online. The console's Z report says how many reached Vireno after the close, and when.

  • The cash or a slip didn't match. See When the cash is short or over.
