End of day: Z-settlement
Close the day in the POS app with an X report or a Z report, and look at past settlements.
At the end of the day you do a Z report in the POS app. It closes the day's sales and creates a settlement that you can see in Dineout Partner.
You need a receipt printer connected to print an X report. If staff login is on, the Settlement menu item is hidden for staff with the Staff role.
X report or Z report
Open the side menu and tap Settlement. The screen asks you to Choose X or Z report.
| Report | What it does |
|---|---|
| Print X report | Prints a snapshot of the day so far. It does not close the day. Open orders are included and marked as unpaid. |
| Print Z report | Closes the day and creates a settlement. |
If no receipt printer is connected, the screen says No printer connected, and Print X report is greyed out.
