X/Z-Out Terminology

X/Z-Out Overview | End of Day Overview | Reports Overview

Breakouts: Listings of the total amount paid in, the amount paid out, and the net amount for each discount type. These listings are included in all X-Outs and Z-Outs.

Media: A general term for currency and non-currency items used as payment.

Currency: Bills and coins used as payment.

Non-Currency Media: Media other than currency used as payment. Non-currency media are payment documents such as checks, credit card and ATM/debit receipts, store credits, gift cards/certificates, etc.

Paid Outs and Payouts: The term "paid out" refers to payment given to the customer for any reason, such as giving change or refunding a returned item. In the list of non-currency media contained at the end of X/Z-Out reports, there is a list of Payouts, meaning cash removed from the cash drawer using the payout feature. It is important to be aware of this distinction.

Manual Media Count: An optional manual count of all media (currency and non-currency) in the drawer done for added cash drawer control. Can be required before a Z-Out Drawer Count Report can be completed. This procedure helps eliminate mathematical errors and identify missing amounts.
