X-report – a mid-day status
Take an X-report to see how much the till has sold so far in the shift, without resetting anything and without closing the till.
An X-rapport (X-report) is an interim report for the till you are working at. It shows sales, refunds, payment methods, VAT and how much cash should be in the drawer – right now, while the shift is still open. Nothing is reset, and you can take as many X-reports as you like. Use it for example at a shift change, when you want to check-count the drawer, or when you want to check that the till adds up during the day.
Before you start
- The till must have an open shift. Without one there is nothing to report on.
- If you want the report on paper, the till needs a receipt printer connected. See Connecting a receipt printer.
How to do it
On the web till
- Tap «Mer» (More) on the till.
- Under «Oppslag og rapporter» (Look-ups and reports), tap «X-rapport» (Mellomrapport uten nullstilling – interim report without reset).
- The report opens on screen with the heading «X-rapport» and the till's ID.
- Tap «Skriv ut på kassen» (Print on the till) to send the report to the till's printer. Once sent, you see «X-rapport sendt til skriver …» (X-report sent to printer …) and the button changes to «Skriv ut igjen» (Print again).
- Tap «PDF/nettleser» (PDF/browser) if you would rather open the report in the browser and save or print it from there.
- Tap «Lukk» (Close) when you are done.
In the till app (Kasse-appen) on Android
- Open the «Flere handlinger» (More actions) menu and choose «Rapporter» (Reports).
- The «X-rapport» tab shows the report for the shift that is open now.
- Use the printer icon («Skriv ut», Print) to print it.
If you have access to reports, you also see the «Z-rapporter» tab with earlier end-of-day reports for the till. Without that access you only see the X-report for your own shift.
What the report shows
| Part of the report | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| «Bruttosalg», «Refusjoner», «MVA totalt» | Gross sales, refunds and total VAT so far in the shift |
| «Salg», «Refusjoner»/«Returkvitteringer», «Trening» | Number of sales, returns and training receipts |
| «Salg per varegruppe» | Count and amount per product group |
| «Annulleringer og rabatter» | Cancelled sales, discounts, line corrections, copy receipts, cash deposits («Innskudd»), cash withdrawals («Uttak») and «Kassaskuffåpninger» (drawer openings). The till has no separate function for deposits and withdrawals, so those lines show 0. |
| «Gavekort» and «Klippekort» | Gift cards and punch cards sold and redeemed |
| «Betalingsmåter» | Count and amount per payment method: cash, card, Vipps, gift card, manual and mixed |
| «Kredittsalg» | Sales on invoice, kept separate from cash sales |
| «Akkumulerte totaler» | Grand totals for sales, refunds and net over the till's whole lifetime |
| «Kassestatus» | «Veksel start» (opening float) and «Forventet kontant» (expected cash) – what should be in the drawer now |
| «MVA-fordeling» | Net and VAT per rate |
Every line is shown even when the figure is zero. That is deliberate: the law requires the specifications to appear on the report even if the function has not been used.
Good to know
- An X-report does not close the till. It resets no counters and cannot replace the Z-report. You do the day's settlement with End of day and the Z-report.
- The figures are a snapshot. The report shows the position at the moment you tapped. Take a new X-report if you want updated figures.
- Use «Forventet kontant» for a check count. If you count the drawer during the day, you can compare against this amount. The count that goes on the report is only recorded when you close the shift.
- Training sales are kept out. Sales in training mode are only counted under «Trening» and do not affect sales, VAT or cash. See Training mode.
- Every X-report is logged. The fact that you took an X-report is recorded in the electronic journal.
- No printer? If you see «Ingen skriver er koblet til denne kassen.» (No printer is connected to this till), use «PDF/nettleser» instead.
Frequently asked questions
How many X-reports can I take?
As many as you like. An X-report changes nothing in the till.
Can I use the X-report as my end-of-day report?
No. The law requires a Z-report for each till (kassapunkt) every business day. You create it when you close the shift.
Why doesn't «Kort» on the X-report match the total on the payment terminal?
«Kort» (Card) only shows card sales recorded on this till in the shift. Returns of web orders paid by card online are listed separately under «Retur av nettordre» (Web order returns). If there is still a difference, check whether the terminal has payments that were never completed on the till.
