# POS Reports

> Review register sales, items, categories, employees, payment methods, taxes, discounts, and cash drawer shifts.

POS Reports show how your registers performed over a period: what sold, who sold it, how customers paid, and whether each cash drawer balanced.

Open **Point of Sale → Reports**. You need the `pos.view_sales` permission. Without `pos.view_all_sales`, the reports only include sales where you were the cashier.

## Choose the period

Set **From** and **To** (the current month by default, up to 366 days) and pick a **Branch**, or keep **All branches**. Voided sales are left out.

The summary cards at the top show **Gross sales**, **Net sales**, **Refunds**, and the number of **Sales** and returns.

## Report tabs

| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| **Sales summary** | One row per day: sales and returns, gross sales, refunds, discounts, net sales, cost of goods, gross profit, margin, taxes, and total |
| **Sales by item** | Net quantity and sales for each item and variant, with cost of goods and gross profit |
| **Sales by category** | The same figures grouped by product category |
| **Sales by employee** | Sales and returns for each cashier |
| **Payment methods** | Payments, refunds, net amount, and tips for each payment method |
| **Taxes** | Taxable sales and tax collected for each tax rate |
| **Discounts** | How often each discount was used, split into item and sale discounts. Custom discounts appear as **Open discount**. |
| **Shifts** | Every shift with its branch, register, who opened and closed it, opening, expected, and closing cash, the difference, and the shift's sales totals |

Each table can be searched, sorted, and filtered by column, and shows totals at the bottom.

## Check a shift

Click a row on the **Shifts** tab to open the shift summary:

- **Shift information**: branch, register, business date, and who opened and closed it.
- **Cash drawer**: cash payments and refunds, paid in and paid out, expected cash, counted closing cash, and the difference. A shortage shows in red.
- **Sales summary** and **Payment methods** for that shift.
- Any notes.

Use this to follow up on a drawer that didn't balance.

## Other reporting

Every POS sale is also an invoice, and every tender is a payment, so POS sales appear in the **Reports** tabs of [Invoices](https://workstation.repzo.com/docs/commerce/invoices#reports) and [Payments](https://workstation.repzo.com/docs/commerce/payments#reports), and in [Reports](https://workstation.repzo.com/docs/analytics/reports). Use those to save or export reports.
