60 Reporting

Oracle Retail Xstore POS provides a wide variety of reports to help you monitor and analyze your store's operations and sales. All Xstore POS reports are available on Desktop, Thin Client, and Tablet devices. They are accessed via the Reporting option. This option is only available when outside of a sale. The information in this guide will help you understand what reports are available and how to access the reports you need.

Note:

See Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service Reports Guide for more information on report options and details of individual reports.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Report Menu Configuration and Security

The reports available on the Reporting menu are based on your business needs. The order in which the reports are displayed may also be customized. Because each Oracle Retail Xstore POS menu is configurable, the menu options and locations shown on your system may be different than the options shown throughout this guide.

Controlling access to company information on reports is a significant issue and Oracle Retail Xstore POS addresses that requirement through system security privileges. Access to reports can be controlled at an individual employee level or at a group level.

Report Printing

Multiple Printers

Printing to A4/report printers is done for luxury receipts, BIP reports, and tax-free invoice printing. Stores that have multiple A4/report printers can select a printer from a list of available printers or scan a QR Code and the report or invoice prints to that selected printer. If only one printer is available, the report prints directly to that printer and no selection is required.

Multiple Printer List
QR Code

In addition to selecting a printer from a list, you can scan a QR code placed on the front of the printer to select that printer.

  1. Select Print to print a report.

  2. From the list of printers displayed, select the barcode icon to open the device camera.

  3. Scan the QR code on the front of the printer.

When a QR code is valid and the A4/report printer is configured, Xstore will send the data to the scanned printer. The printer list closes automatically.

Note:

Retailers are responsible for creating QR codes for printers and placing them on the appropriate printers. They are also responsible for configuring available printers.

Report Printing Options

An option to print a page range may be available for some reports. The reports that support this feature are determined by the Home Office. If a report supports printing a specified page range, you will be prompted to enter the page(s).

  1. After generating a report, and with the report displayed, select the Print option.

  2. If prompted, type the page, pages, or page range to be printed. For example, at the prompt, type 1-3,6,7-9,12 to print only those pages and press Enter to print the report.
