If you find yourself running a report and not getting the results you expect, I would try to “revert” the report to it’s original version.  To revert, run the report and then click modify report.  At the lower left of the modify button is a revert button.  Press this button and it will run the report as original configured.  Then you can modify from there.  Sometimes POS will not clear all of the filters even if you remove them and this is a quick way to make sure.

Being the start of a new year and all, a lot of you are thinking about doing inventory.  The first step in a successful inventory is to buy or rent the POS inventory scanner.  Yes we do sell them, but that is not why I am telling you to get the scanner.  The scanner turns the inventory process from days to a few hours.  Next, in Version 6 and new, click on inventory and start phyiscal inventory. find a expected item with zero and put a 0 in the counted field.  Then save the change.  It will start the inventory process and ensure that anything gets sold or received will be flagged. Then scan or count your inventory making sure not to double count anything. If you are using the scanner, upload the counts, review the scans and save them.  After you are sure that you have counted everything, check the set everything not counted to zero box. and apply changes.  If the inventory was taken over a period of time, then you may need to adjust for items sold after being counted.  To do so, look for the flags next to the items change.  Then review your receiving or sales history and make the necessary adjustment.  When you are all done, apply changes and wait for your next inventory.
