Overview

Daily sales summary: reading it correctly is a common workflow in TillTech. This guide covers the recommended setup path and the checks that help you avoid mistakes.

Before You Start

  • Sales data recorded (at least a test sale)
  • Correct tax settings
  • Staff permissions for reporting

Recommended Steps

  1. Choose the date range and location(s) you want to analyse.
  2. Start with the summary metrics, then drill into categories/products.
  3. Review refunds/voids and discounts for anomalies.
  4. Export CSV if finance needs reconciliation.
  5. Save your reporting routine (daily/weekly/monthly) so it stays consistent.

Best Practices

  • Make one small change at a time and validate the result.
  • Test the full flow end-to-end before rolling out to staff.
  • Keep permissions tight: give access only to people who need it.
  • Use consistent naming for products, categories, and locations.

Troubleshooting

  • If a setting appears not to apply, confirm you are editing the correct location/workspace.
  • If reports don’t match expectations, verify time zone and tax settings first.
  • If devices aren’t syncing, check network connectivity and re-authenticate where applicable.
