End of Day Report

Admin Manager

The End of Day (EOD) report provides a comprehensive summary of your store's activity for a single business day. It consolidates data from all register sessions, giving you a complete picture of daily performance that can be printed or exported for your records.

End of day report


Accessing the End of Day Report

  1. Log in to the Admin Panel.
  2. Click Reports in the top navigation bar.
  3. Click End of Day.

The report defaults to today's date. Use the date picker to view a previous day's report.


What the Report Includes

The EOD report is organized into several sections, each summarizing a different aspect of the day's operations.

Sales Summary

The top of the report displays four summary cards:

MetricDescription
Total RevenueSum of all completed sale totals
TransactionsCount of completed transactions (with average sale value)
Cash SalesTotal cash sales for the day
Debit SalesTotal debit sales for the day

Payment Method Totals

A breakdown of revenue by payment type:

  • Cash received
  • Debit card transactions
  • E-transfer transactions
  • Bulk payments
  • Split payments

Register Sessions

Each cash drawer session that was active during the day is listed with:

  • Register -- Which physical register was used.
  • Opened -- When the session was opened.
  • Closed -- When the session was closed.
  • Opening Float -- The starting cash amount.
  • Sales -- Total sales processed during the session.
  • Over/Under -- The cash variance (difference between expected and counted cash).
  • Status -- Whether the session is open or closed.
Open Sessions

If a register session is still open at the time you generate the EOD report, it will appear as "Open" with incomplete data. For an accurate EOD report, close all register sessions before generating the report.


Generating the Report

For Today

  1. Navigate to Reports > End of Day.
  2. The current date is pre-selected.
  3. The report generates automatically.

For a Previous Date

  1. Navigate to Reports > End of Day.
  2. Click the Date field.
  3. Select the desired date from the calendar.
  4. The report refreshes to show that day's data.
End of Business Routine

Make the EOD report part of your closing routine:

  1. Close all register sessions (forcing cash counts).
  2. Generate the EOD report.
  3. Verify that the cash variance is within your acceptable threshold.
  4. Print or export the report for your records.

Printing the Report

The EOD report is designed to be print-friendly.

  1. Click the Print button at the top of the report.
  2. Your browser's print dialog will open.
  3. Select your office printer (not a receipt printer -- this report is formatted for standard paper).
  4. Click Print.

The printed report includes all sections in a clean, readable layout suitable for filing or sending to your accountant.


Interpreting Cash Variances

The cash variance is the most critical number on the EOD report. It tells you whether the cash in the drawer matches what the system expected.

VarianceMeaning
$0.00Perfect match. Cash in drawer equals expected cash.
Positive (e.g., +$5.00)Drawer has more cash than expected. Could indicate a customer overpaid or a refund was not processed.
Negative (e.g., -$5.00)Drawer has less cash than expected. Could indicate incorrect change given, unrecorded payout, or theft.

Acceptable Thresholds

Small variances (under $2.00) are common and usually caused by rounding during cash transactions. Larger or recurring variances should be investigated.

Steps to investigate a variance:

  1. Review the register session's transactions for the day.
  2. Check for any voided sales that may not have been processed correctly.
  3. Look at the cash drop records to verify all drops were recorded.
  4. Compare the EOD report with the Z-Report from the specific register session.
Z-Reports vs. EOD Report

A Z-Report covers a single register session. The EOD report consolidates all register sessions for the entire day. If your store has multiple registers, the EOD report gives you the full picture while Z-Reports help you drill into individual registers.


Multiple Register Reconciliation

If your store operates more than one register:

  1. Each register session appears as a separate row in the Register Sessions section.
  2. The Payment Method Totals aggregate across all registers.
  3. Cash variances are shown per register, making it easy to identify which register had an issue.

Best Practice for Multi-Register Stores

  • Close each register session individually as shifts end.
  • Have the closing manager count each drawer separately.
  • Generate the EOD report only after all registers are closed.
  • Review each register's variance independently.

Comparing Days

To compare performance across multiple days:

  1. Generate the EOD report for each day you want to compare.
  2. Note the key metrics (revenue, transaction count, average sale).
  3. Alternatively, use the Sales Report with a multi-day range grouped by day for a side-by-side comparison.

Common Questions

Can I regenerate the EOD report later? Yes. The report is generated from your historical data and can be pulled up for any past date at any time.

What if a register session spans midnight? The session and its transactions appear on the day the session was opened. A session opened at 10 PM and closed at 2 AM will appear on the report for the day it was opened.

Does the EOD report include online orders? Yes. WooCommerce orders that were fulfilled during the day are included in the sales summary.
