Article summary

The receipt journal is used for verifying and keeping track of transactions at cash register. It provides many selection options and enables filtering to find the desired receipts. This makes it easy to verify receipts. You can find the program under the Finances menu in Chain Web.

On the left of the screen, you will find various filters that can be used to find the desired receipts. It is possible to hide/open “Filter” by pressing the arrow at the top left of the filter field.

An overview of the search result appears in the middle of the screen, i.e., the receipts which match the specified filter. There is a receipt view on the right of the screen where the selected/marked receipt appears.


FILTERS

The number of hits (i.e., the number of receipts that match the specified filter) are shown at the top of the screen.

NB:

If the search has too many hits, this may cause an error situation where a user will get no hits. This can be resolved by adding one more filter.

Search bar: You can search the receipt on the search bar. Enter a search text and press the button Refresh to update the search. The results will be displayed in the receipt table in the center of the screenshot.

You can base your filter on the following:

  • When

  • Who and where

  • Sales filters

  • Content filters

  • Receipt type

Press the information on which to base your filter. This will open more filtering options. Below you will find an overview of the choices you have for the different filters.

Filtering options

WHEN

Date range: You can specify a date range (from/to dates) by entering a date or selecting a date from the “calendar” icon.

Time: You can specify a from and to time by entering a time or selecting a time from the “clock” icon.


WHO AND WHERE

Stores: If the receipt log does not contain a store, the user will only see receipts from stores to which the user has access. If the user is an HK user, the store selected by the HK user will appear as the preselected store. But the HK user can choose to base a filter on multiple stores.

Cashiers: This is where you can base your filter on cashiers by selecting cashiers from a dropdown list on which you can select multiple cashiers. You need to choose a store before selecting cashiers.

POS units: This is where you can base your filter on POS units (e.g., cash register) and you can choose one or more.

Receipt No.: If the user searches for the “Receipt number”, the following filter will be applied: store, cashier, and POS units. All other filters will be ignored.
To find a specific receipt without entering a store/cash register, you can enter the receipt number in the following format: 1-3-46546 (store no.– cash register no. – receipt no.).

Sales channel: You can filter sales channels by ticking the desired selection; you can select more than one.

  • Self Checkout

  • Mobile Checkout

  • Webshop

  • Lindbak POS
