The Z-Report is your end-of-day cash register reconciliation report. It summarizes all sales activity for a register during a specific period and helps you verify that your cash drawer matches expected totals.
What the Z-Report Shows
- Starting Cash: The amount in the drawer at the start of the shift.
- Sales Summary: Total revenue broken down by payment type.
