Z-Out Reports
X/Z-Out Overview | End of Day Overview | Reports Overview
Z-Out or "zero-out" reports are used to close out a workstation and cash drawer for a shift or day and when closing the entire store for the day. Z-Out reports contain all the information included in an X-Out report, with additional functions as described below.
There are two types of Z-Out report:
Z-Out Drawer Count: The Z-Out Drawer Count report is typically run at the end of an associates shift, or at the end of day, to summarize sales activity and reconcile a cash drawer for the period. Typically, a Z-Out Drawer Count report is run at each workstation independently.
Z-Out Drawer Count reports can be filtered by date/time range, workstation, store (Pro, Headquarters only), and/or associate. In addition, manual media counts can be required to ensure cash drawer accountability.
Note: To require manual media counts as part of drawer count report, select Preferences Company from the File menu. Then select the Sales page from the preferences tree on the left. Select the Require a Manual Media Count for X/Z-Out option and save.
Z-Out Store Close: The Z-Out Store Close report is typically run at the end of the day when closing the store. It is particularly well-suited for retailers with multiple workstations, where each workstation runs their own Drawer Count report and then a Store Close report is run to include the activities from all workstations. By default; all workstations and associates are automatically included in the report, though it can be filtered to narrow the results if desired. Unlike the Z-Out Drawer Count report, manual media counts are not available for the Z-Out Store Close report.
