Click on any of the headers to sort the columns alphabetically or numerically.
1. These are your Headers, when clicked they allow you to sort the field by that option. Ex: If Department is clicked, this will sort by Department Name Alphabetically.
2. You will see this Arrow symbol to indicate if you are sorting that column in an Ascending or Descending order.
In the Store Sales you may see a Red Square Icon. This indicates that the data has been modified. Hover your mouse pointer over the icon to see the original number.
The red circle icon indicates that the SKU sales do not match the department sales. Hover your mouse pointer over the icon to see the difference between the two.
This can be caused by items in different departments in S2K vs the POS, it can also be caused by making department sales and not at item level. This can also mean you had sales of items that do not exist in S2K.
Receipts
This is where you will find the accumulation of transactions to account for the total sales for the day(s).
You can adjust the information shown here by clicking the edit button in the top right corner of this section.

The edits can then be seen under the Audit button at the top of the page.
The red circle icon indicates that the details for this method of payment have not been balanced. Hover your mouse over the icon to see the amount that is over or short. You may need to check your P/O and A/R for the day to reconcile this.
