Show Reports for POS

In the context of Point of Sale (POS) functionality in SapphireOne, the Show Reports feature within the POS menu currently offers a selection of six distinct items. These items mirror the same Show Report options available in the Sales menu in Inventory mode. To facilitate ease of reference, we have thoughtfully included screenshots for each of these reports below. Subsequently, after each screenshot you will be provided with a convenient hyperlink that grants access to an article elaborating on the selected Show Report item from the list as seen in the screenshot below.

Standardised Layout

In SapphireOne, a standardised layout is employed across all Show Report functions to ensure uniformity and user-friendliness. This consistency streamlines the user experience, as learning a single layout suffices for comprehending all Show Report screens, which share similar structures. Each report is accompanied by a title, automatically generated by SapphireOne, positioned below the options section. This title functions as a header for the items featured within the report.

Selecting a Report

After selecting a report option in SapphireOne, you have the flexibility to choose various criteria for the report, as documented below. Once the report has been generated, you can easily export it as either an HTML or CSV file. These files can be opened in any web browser or external spreadsheet program for your convenience.
