The Draft Receipts report shows all receipts that were printed before payment was taken. Each row in the table represents a single order. This report helps you to identify and review receipts that were issued before payment was finalized, and can be used to print receipts, cancel receipts, and assess discrepancies or corrections made to an order.

Viewing and managing receipt details
From the Draft Receipts Report, click on any receipt to see more details. From here, you can perform various actions and see more information specific to your chosen transaction.
Important: Be selective when adding transactions, canceling receipts, or changing payment types. Manipulating receipts after the end of the business day may invalidate reports already printed by the POS since those existing reports will no longer match the back-end data.
