X- and Z-report: A Comparison

  X-Bericht Z-Bericht
Shift open closed
Data can be changed yes, transactions can be refunded no changes are possible anymore, not by the user and not by orderbird
tax compliant no yes

X-report

The X-report is an interim report of a checkout day. All transactions are recorded in it. Since you can also reopen receipts during the checkout day - e.g. in the case of a return - the turnover is not yet final: The X-report is therefore always an interim report and not tax compliant.

You can open and print the current X-report via [Main menu] > [Reports].

As soon as you close the day in orderbird MINI by tapping on "End day" or you have programmed an automatic end of day, the sales are finalized and saved in a Z-report.

Z-report

The Z-report is the finalized X-report and contains all the turnover data of a shift. This means that the data in the Z-report cannot be changed, not even retroactively, neither by you nor by us.

When you tap on "Open shift", all transactions are saved in an interim report, the X-report. As soon as you close the shift in your orderbird MINI, the transactions are finalized and saved in a Z-report.

You can open all Z-reports via [Main menu] > [Reports] and print them as often as you need. The Z-reports are tax office compliant.
