Title: "Drawer Opened" says zero on Z report, although it was opened.
Post by: Courtright on May 23, 2013, 05:35:20 AM
This has been arising a lot lately.  I want to track each time the drawer is opened for a no sale "to make change, etc." to help me watch for employee theft.  However, this has been happening regularly where at the end of the night I have a "no sale" drawer opening receipt that printed where it says "make change", "fix error" and things like that and I have them sign it.  So I can see they opened the drawer during the day because I have the slip, however on the Z report it says "Drawer Opened: 0"

Any ideas why it is saying zero times?  Sometimes it is correct and will say "1".  I double check to see if a "sneaky" Z report was done mid day however all of my Z reports are falling in line by number order so I don't have any missing ones.  Thanks for any ideas. =)

We checked and found you can start a z-out and cancel it but it will open the drawer.  I'm sending you an update.  Give that a try and let us know.

Thanks, I will try that.

Also, they were definitely doing a "no sale" basic drawer opening because they were getting the printed out receipt for a drawer opening, not just starting a Z report and then canceling out of it.  I realized that trick too and was just hoping the employees would not figure it out.  Hopefully your update will solve that.  I'll try it out.

But again, they were doing a normal drawer opening, getting a receipt for it and the Z report was showing 0 drawer openings.  Perhaps if it was done and then cancelled it cancels out (resets) any previous drawer openings for the day?

Can all the post be transferred to the new board?

Was that meant for me?  Are you guys using a new forum board at another site?

On topic, I have been using the new upgrade you sent me and still having the same issue, but now it just says 1.  For instance, on Saturday we had 4 drawer openings to make change or correct errors, etc.  At the end of night Z Report it said "1" for number of times the drawer was opened.  It used to only say "0", not it always says "1" so I believe it is counting the Z report as a drawer opening but not actually counting the drawer openings.
