Income accounts are used to register direct income at the POS terminals; that is, payment of certain bills by customers. You need to select an appropriate account and amount for the deposit. After that, an item line is created to represent the deposit. You then need to finish the transaction, for example by choosing to pay with cash if the deposit was in cash.

Income accounts are also used to manage tips/gratuity that is added to the transaction. Read more about tip management here: Tip management

Expense accounts are used to register direct expenses at the POS terminal; that is, payments of goods or service for the store, such as window-cleaning. You need to select an appropriate account and amount for the withdrawal. Then you will see an item line representing the withdrawal.

This operation can trigger an infocode that has been configured to be triggered "On request".

There are two parameters that can be set:

Item: If the "Trigger for" parameter is set to Item then the second parameter does not need to be set. Any infocode that is configured on the selected item (within the POS) is triggered.

Sale: If the "Trigger for" parameter is set to Sale then the second parameter has to be selected. When the operation is run the infocode selected in the second parameter is run. The information collected in this infocode is saved to the header of the transaction.

See more information on setting up infocodes here.

This operation prints an item sales report for a specific day.

This operation can be configured to print as follows:

• Item: Prints all items.
• Retail group: Prints all retail groups and shows the total quantity and amount for each group.
• Retail department: Prints all retail departments and shows the total quantity and amount for each department.
• Retail division: Prints all retail division and shows the total quantity and amount for each division.
• Special groups: Prints all special groups and shows the total quantity and amount for each special group.
  

  Note that because currently an item can belong to multiple special groups, when printing special groups you will see the same quantity and amount for each group, causing the total quantity and amount to be higher than it really is.

The tips report lists all incoming and outgoing tips since the last Z report was printed for the terminal.
