  1. Set the beginning and ending dates/times that define the intended business cutoff.
  2. Select Apply Date Filter before choosing from Available Reports so each report receives the same scope.
  3. Open the report that matches the question rather than selecting one because its total “looks right.” Date-range output can include sales/tender activity, customer credits, payouts, item rows, and other operating records depending on the selected report.
  4. Confirm the displayed range, warehouse or division context, transaction states, and whether voided, returned, unpaid, or unposted activity is included.
  5. Print, export, or email only after reconciling material totals to the corresponding list or register.

Choose a defensible cutoff

Use local business time and respect the exact close boundary, especially around midnight, overnight operations, and backdated corrections. A calendar date range andis not automatically the same as one or more Work Periods. If the report options,supports thena confirmclose decision, compare the includedchosen workrange periodswith the open/close timestamps on those periods.

Sharing reports

The email action sends business data outside the immediate screen. Verify recipient, subject, attachment/output, and authorization before usingsending. Treat customer, employee, sales, and payment information according to company policy.

When totals do not agree

Check range boundaries, warehouse/division, status and tender filters, later voids/returns, backdated entries, and whether the output.comparison report uses posting date or transaction date. Correct the source transaction or rerun with the proper scope; do not edit a period simply to force two unlike reports to match.
