Reports -> Sales Reports -> "Negative Cashier"

Once the customers are done picking out the products that they want to buy in the retail store/shop/mall, they need to reach the counter to check out all the products and make the payment for their purchase. Many times, it happens that the customer wants to remove a product from the purchase list because of a shortage of cash or changes his/her mind and asks to remove the product that he/she would not buy. So, the cashier needs to remove that product from the transaction and take that physical product out. Now, the total amount will be reduced, and the customer will be able to complete the payment.

In another case, the customer changes their mind and asks to cancel the entire purchase. The cashier needs to clear the scanned products by performing a couple of actions from the POS.

In the first case, canceling (voiding) a product from the purchase, while in the second case, canceling the entire purchase. Both cases will be noted as “Negative Transactions” in the FTx POS System. FTx Cloud POS provides the detailed Negative Cashier Report that provides the data for the void sales, canceled sales, or return of the items that occurred at POS by the cashier. 

> What Are Negative Transactions?
When the cashiers perform the following actions at POS during a customer's checkout, that's called Negative Transactions:

Void Item/Sales | Cancel Sales | Return Item | No Sales

4. You will have one flag to decide whether you want to "Include" or "Exclude" the selected records when the report is generated.
  1. Include: If the flag is selected to "Include," it means the negative cashier report will be generated by applying the selected records.
  2. Exclude: If the flag is selected to "Exclude," it means the negative cashier report will be generated but ignore the selected records. It will consider the selected records that need to be excluded and consider the left-side records for reports.
5. If you want to remove the whole selection, click the "Clear Selection" button. You can remove any record from the list by clicking the Remove (x) icon.
6. You can generate the report by clicking the "Apply" button, or you can click the "Save Filters" button to save the custom filter for future use.
InfoIn this way, the "Custom Filter" options (tabs) help to customize the records and set up the parameters to get only the required data for the report. Similarly, you can filter and set up the records for other tabs (parameters).

  1. Show Details: If checked, you will see the summary with the number of negative transactions, discount details, the value of the negative transaction in $ amount, and the individual receipt details.

                                                                                       Figure 4.1

By clicking that hyperlink, the users will be redirected to the new browser tab that displays receipt details (E-Journal Report). From here, the users can see the negative sales in the receipt details to check what happened at that time.

                                                                                Figure 4.2

“Pre/Post Receipt” shows the transaction details with all the necessary details such as cashier name, Register, Receipt No., and others.
