Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send reports automatically by email? The DATEV export can be sent to the tax advisor by email. For other reports, use the manual export (PDF/Excel).

How far back do the reports go? Reports access all stored POS data — there is no time limit.

Are voided receipts included in the reports? Voids are shown separately. The net revenue already accounts for voids (they are subtracted).
