The Accounting Summary report provides a comprehensive overview of your organization's financial performance. The report is broken down into six distinct sections, allowing you to analyze key metrics from high-level summaries down to specific details. This report allows you to:
- View top-line financial metrics, including Net Sales, Taxes, Tips, and Gift Card Sales.
- Analyze performance by Sales Category, Revenue Center, and Tender Type.
- Filter data by Location and Date, and drill down into specific locations by clicking a location name.
- Customize and Export each summary table independently.

Understanding the Report Sections
Sales Summary
The Sales Summary section breaks down your sales performance, displaying Voids, Sales, Discounts, Refunds, and Net Sales. The data is grouped by BY CATEGORY, BY DAYPART, BY REVENUE CENTER, and BY ORDER TYPE, and excludes any rows that had no sales activity. A Grand Total row summarizes the values for all groupings.
Payments
The Payments section details all payment transactions, grouped by Tender Type (such as CASH, CREDIT CARD, and GIFT CARD). It shows the Quantity of transactions, along with the total Sales, Tips, Pay In/Out, Deposits, and Total amount for each type. A Total Payments row summarizes all tender types.
Net Sales
The Net Sales section provides a calculation of your final Net Sales (Grand Total). It begins with Total Payments and then reconciles that figure against other amounts such as Gift Card Sales, Pay In/Out, Surcharges, Taxes, and Tips.
Pay In/Out
The Pay In/Out section lists all non-sale cash movements. It shows the Cash, Credit, and Total amounts for both Pay In and Pay Out events. A Grand Total row provides the final summary.
Taxes
The Taxes section details all collected taxes, with a separate row for each Tax Rate. It displays the Rate, Inclusive, Exclusive, Fee Tax, and Total Taxes for each. A Grand Total row summarizes all tax values.
Refunds
The Refunds section lists any refunds processed, showing the Check Amount, Tip Amount, and Total for each. A Grand Total row summarizes the values of all refunds.
