Reporting – Sales Summary & Merchandise Reports
End-of-Day Sales Reconciliation Tips
Overview: It is highly recommended that the chairperson
reconcile all cash drawers each day. This will accommodate
the completion of the financial form for the Fair revenue at
the end of the Fair. Use this guide as a means of associating
the POS Sales Summary Report for the day for each terminal
at the Fair. Make sure to add all terminal’s sales totals for a
complete daily sales summary.
Count the number of credit card slips and their totals1.
and compare to the Sales Summary Credit Card section.
Record your daily sales for credit cards and place
receipts in the envelope.
Count the number of checks in the cash drawer and2.
their totals and compare to the Sales Summary Checks
section. Record your daily sales for checks received.
Count the total cash (dollars & coins) in the cash drawer3.
and compare to the Sales Summary Cash section.
Record your daily sales for cash. Make sure to subtract
out your starting cash from the total cash for the day.
Note: The Sales Summary Report only serves as a guide
for your total sales. Remember, you are required to report
all sales and money received. It is recommended that you
process all sales through EasyScan. This will help balance
each day’s sales.
Wrapping Up Fair Financial
Reporting
Please review the Financial Report support documents
included with the Scholastic EasyScan Quick Start Guide.
The Financial Report tool titled Closing Out Your Book Fair will
help you populate your financial information on the Toolkit
at the end of your Fair. The Financial Report document is
purposely detached from the Quick Start Guide so you can
keep and use to finalize your Fair Financials.
Note: Daily balancing on each terminal may not always be
possible due to One for Books and Gift Certificate sales and
redemption.
Wrap-up Support: Print a Final Fair Summary Report for
each Scholastic EasyScan terminal and be sure to keep the
receipt(s) for your records. Be sure to include all days the Fair
ran in the date selection field. Again, if you processed any
sales outside of the EasyScan terminal the report summary
will not balance to your actual sales. It is your responsibility to
report all sales and revenue from your Book Fair, even those
not processed with EasyScan.
Prior to Fair pick-up, make sure you print
an All Days Fair Summary Report on each
terminal to help finalize your financial
reporting on the Toolkit.
