Hi. How can we help?

Fiscal Report (Back Office)

A Fiscal report is generated on the POS whenever a new shift is started and covers 24 hours, automatically ending at 5:29 AM the next day. Visit Fiscal Reports from Back Office to see an overview of Fiscal reports created by the POS. Fiscal reports are generated at the end of the day and, as such, are only available after the start of the next day (e.g., today's Fiscal report will be visible tomorrow). 

A Fiscal report is created for each POS device, but only reports from active devices are calculated into the fiscal summary. Passive devices will have their results greyed out.

Accessing the Fiscal Report

To access the Fiscal Report:

  1. Log in to the Back Office using your Lightspeed credentials.
  2. Select Reports > Reports from the navigation menu.
  3. Click Fiscal Report in the Fiscal Reports section.
  4. Use the drop-down menu and calendar icon in the upper-right corner to change the report's time period.
  5. Click any row on the table to see a report preview.
