The Z-Out report is a Point of Sale report used to reconcile your cash drawer at the end of a shift or business day. It summarizes all sales activity and payments for the period so you can confirm the cash in the drawer matches what Sharper recorded.
"Z-Out" is a standard retail term for the end-of-day sales summary that closes out a register session. Running a Z-Out gives you a final tally for the period — it does not lock the register or prevent further transactions.
If you do not see the Z-Out report type under Point of Sale reports, your user role does not include access to this report. An administrator can enable it by going to System Settings > Roles, editing your role, enabling the Point of Sale toggle in the Accessibility section, and turning on the Z-Out permission in the Point of Sale tab.
What the Z-Out Report Shows
The Z-Out report provides a summary of POS activity for the selected period, including:
Total Sales — Gross sales amount for the period
Payments by Tender Type — Breakdown of how payments were received (cash, credit card, gift card, and other tender types)
Tips — Total tips collected
Refunds and Voids — Any refunded or voided transactions for the period
Net Sales — Total sales after refunds
Expected Cash in Drawer — Calculated cash amount based on all recorded cash transactions
Running the Z-Out Report
Select Reports in the left navigation pane.
Select Point of Sale.
Select the Z-Out report from the list, or select Add New and choose the Z-Out report type.
Select Get Report.
Enter the date range for the shift or business day you are closing out.
Select Submit Report.
If your location has multiple POS terminals, apply the outlet or register filter before running the report to ensure you are only seeing transactions from the correct drawer.
Reconciling the Drawer
After running the Z-Out report:
Compare the Expected Cash in Drawer figure from the report against the physical cash count in the drawer.
Note any discrepancy (over or short).
Record your actual cash count and any discrepancy in your reconciliation log.
Remove cash from the drawer down to your starting float amount.
Important: Keep a record of all cash discrepancies. Recurring discrepancies may indicate a process issue or staff training need.
Exporting the Z-Out
After running the report, use the CSV or Excel export buttons to save a copy for your records. Many operations attach the Z-Out export to their daily reconciliation documentation.
