X and Z reports
Xand Zreports are available as part of this terminal’s software functionality. These reports are designed to
enable you, the merchant to view transactions and help understand what data has been processed. Please bear
in mind that these are Offline reports generated direct from the terminal’s memory and in no way does the
terminal communicate with the Host (Bank).
The Xreport shows the total number and value of transactions performed for each Acquirer since the last Z
report. An Xreport does not reset the totals it is a running report which can be used as many times as necessary
to detail the transactions processed through the terminal in any given shift.
The Zreport will show the total number of transactions performed for each Acquirer since the last Zreport and
will reset the totals. This report is usually run once a day at the close of trading however, it can be used to
determine other desired trading patterns if multiple shifts are run each day, or if a trading session were to last a
period of days, weeks or months. However you choose to use it a cumulative total since the last Zwill be shown.
Please note that if you have experienced problems with your terminal and a software re-load or re-configuration
was necessary these totals can be affected.

keypad at the bottom of the screen until the Reports option is displayed.

Reconciliation Report Explained
The following descriptions refer to the Reconciliation report on the previous page.
Report Header: The header of the report will detail your merchant information, Merchant Number, Name and
Address. On the same line as the Merchant ID is an 8 digit number, this is the terminal’s TID and can be used as
a means of identifying your terminal whenever you have a query with the bank or Terminal Support desk.
Date and Time: Below the header is the Date and Time the report was completed.
Card Types: The transactions are listed in card type. On this report Visa is first. There are two sections for each
card type, Current and Previous. The Current section will show the transactions that have been completed in the
last session. These are the transactions the Bank will see and will be Reconciling against. The Previous section
will detail the transactions from the previous Reconciliation.
Debits and Credits:For each card type it states the amount of Debits (Sales) and Credits (Refunds) with their
associated values. For Visa there are two sales totalling £5.20 for MasterCard there is one Sale at £10.76 and for
Maestro there is one refund at £7.00.
Reconciliation Totals: Here you can see the cumulative total of Credits and Debits. The numbers 0003 and 0006
refer to the transaction numbers applicable to these transactions. These are printed on the receipt.
Also the code ‘S: 5’ and ‘Diag. Code 70’. These maybe requested by the Bank if a query is raised.
Online Responses: At the end of the report you will see the message ‘CANNOT CONFIRM’. This is one of the four
responses that will be printed on every reconciliation report.
–Totals Agree: The terminal and Host have reconciled and all totals are correct.
–Totals Disagree: There is a discrepancy between the totals the terminal has and the totals on the Host
system. The Diag Code of 73 will be on the report to confirm this. It is now necessary to phone the
relevant Reconciliation department and understand where the error has occurred. It is advisable that
you have all receipts at hand.
–Totals Unconfirmed: The terminal was unable to communicate with the Host. Please try again. If failures
continue contact terminal support.
–Cannot Confirm: The terminal cannot gain confirmation from the Host. It will be communicating with
the system however it cannot obtain a correct response. The reason for failure will be shown on the
screen while the terminal is attempting the Reconciliation. You will need to contact terminal support to
rectify the issue.
