Z-Reports

Admin Manager
No Separate Z-Reports Page

Brother POS does not have a dedicated Z-Reports page. The cash drawer session detail page serves as your session summary (Z-Report). Navigate to Cash Drawers in the top navigation bar, then click View on any session to see its complete summary including sales, cash counts, and over/under calculations.

What Is a Z-Report?​

A Z-Report (also called a "closing report" or "end-of-day report") is a standard retail document that summarizes all activity during a cash drawer session. In Brother POS, this information is available on the session detail page rather than as a separate report.

Each session detail page covers the period from when the drawer was opened to when it was closed.

Accessing Session Summaries​

  1. Log in to the Admin Panel.
  2. Click Cash Drawers in the top navigation bar.
  3. Click View on any closed session.

The session detail page contains all the information typically found in a Z-Report:

  • Session Information -- Register, opened/closed by, timestamps
  • Sales Summary -- Total sales, transaction count, payment method breakdown
  • Cash Flow -- Opening float, net cash added, cash drops, expected vs. actual cash
  • Over/Under -- Cash variance at close
  • Sales in Session -- List of all sales with receipt numbers, times, cashiers, and totals
  • Cash Drops -- All cash drops recorded during the session

Using Session Summaries for Daily Reconciliation​

Session summaries are the primary tool for daily cash reconciliation:

  1. Close all drawers at the end of the business day.
  2. Open the Cash Drawers page.
  3. Click View on each closed session for the day.
  4. For each session:
    • Verify the Over/Under amount.
    • Review the Payment Method Breakdown for accuracy.
    • Confirm that all Cash Drops are accounted for.
  5. Calculate your store's total for the day by summing all registers.
  6. Compare against your bank deposit amount and POS totals.

Printing a Session Summary​

To print a session summary, use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) from the session detail page. You can also save it as a PDF using the browser's "Print to PDF" option.
