📖 What are Reports in a POS
Reports are organized summaries of business data generated by the POS system, which help the owner or manager analyze, monitor, and control different business operations.
They pull together transactional and inventory information over a selected time period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) and display it in a readable, printable, and exportable format (like PDF, Excel, or on-screen).
📑 Why Are Reports Important?
-
📊 Track sales, profits, and expenses
-
📦 Manage stock levels and usage patterns
-
📃 Review pending orders, returns, and deliveries
-
📈 Monitor employee and store performance
-
📋 Support decision-making with factual data
-
📑 Simplify tax filing and audits
Without reports, you’d have to check each transaction one by one — which is slow and risky.
