Sales Audit Report

Sometimes called the Daily Sales Report (DSR), the NetSuite Point of Sale (NSPOS) Sales Audit Report is part of the End of Day process. The report runs automatically after counting a till/cash drawer. You can run this manually by following the steps below.

Use this report to review key sales-performance indicators, totals by payment type, and counts for each type of transaction performed. The standard report lists your current location and business day, but you can choose to run it for a different location, specific registers/workstations, operators and tills, and choose a range of business days.

To manually run a Sales Audit Report:

  1. In Sales Mode, complete all sales transactions.

  2. From the main button bar, tap Reports and then tap Sales Audit.

    If the reports button is not visible, press Ctrl+F12 and enter Sales Audit or RAPOS Sales Audit.

  3. To filter transactions for different locations, workstations, or other criteria:

    1. Options include selecting the store, workstation (register), and operator from a list. You can change the dates and enter a Till ID. Some filters require clearing the Null box. You can also retrieve data from NetSuite ERP.

      Filter options for Sales Audit report
      Important:

      If you enter a Till ID, the filter will ignore the business day beginning (BsnDayB) and end (BsnBdayE) dates. Instead, the report will list all transactions for the session logged to the Till ID.

    2. Tap View Report.

  4. To print or save and export the report, choose from the options at the top.

  5. Tap X in the upper right to return to the Journal window.

Filtering a Sales Audit Report

The criteria used to filter the Sales Audit report is based on a business day. The business day is the calendar date on which the till beginning count was performed.

You should ensure that cashiers log out at the end of their shift. Leaving a same-day shift without logging out can cause the user session to extend to the next calendar date.

Important:

The business day assigned to a user session's transactions begins when the cashier logs in and ends when the cashier logs out. If a user session extends beyond one calendar date, the business day for transactions occurring on the next calendar date will use session's beginning date.

This setup allows for overnight cashier shifts, such as a 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. shift, to be searchable using session criteria.

Running End of Day closes all open sessions. You can filter a report by calendar date to see "true" transaction dates.

This example shows how not ending a user session can affect transaction data. It also lists how to adjust report criteria to compensate for the effects caused by sessions that overlap calendar dates.

– Business Day Start –

Calendar Date 1 - Cashier logs in to begin user session. End of Day (EOD) was run on the register before cashier logged in.

  • Cashier creates Sales Transaction A.

  • Run Sales Audit report for Calendar Date 1 (current business day).

    Calendar date and business day for transaction A is correct on report.

  • Cashier ends shift without logging off.

Calendar Date 2 - Cashier is still logged in, EOD was not run.

  • Cashier creates Sales Transaction B

  • Run Sales Audit report for Calendar Date 2.

    Transaction B is not found in report.

  • Change filter criteria to Calendar Date 1 (as shown in the Sales Audit report steps).

    Transaction A and Transaction B are listed in report.
