The Daily Sales Summary report shows one row per day in your selected window, mixing two related views: what was sold (invoice totals) and what was received (payment totals split by method).
Sales side (left half)
For each day:
- Invoices — non-voided invoices dated that day
- Voided — voided invoices, shown for visibility but excluded from totals
- Gross — sum of pre-tax line subtotals (post-discount)
- Discounts — total CashDiscount applied across those invoices’ lines
- Tax — calculated tax on taxable invoices (rate + surtax up to threshold)
- Total — Gross + Tax + Freight × CC-fee multiplier — the headline “what we sold”
Payments side (right half)
For each day:
- Cash / Check / Card / Other — payments collected on that day, bucketed by method (Card includes Visa / Master / Amex / Discover / debit / credit-card; Other catches gift card, ACH, etc.)
- Payments — total of all four buckets
The Sales side and Payments side won’t always match for the same day — payments lag invoices (customer pays the next day, or pays a memo before invoicing). Match Total Sales over a multi-day range against Total Payments over the same range to reconcile.
Drill-down
Click any date in Summary → Detail filtered to that day’s invoices. Removable Date pill at the top of Detail; click × to widen back to the full range.
Detail view
One row per invoice on the chosen day (or all days if no date is filtered):
- Invoice #, Date, Customer, Status (Voided badge if voided)
- Subtotal, Discount, Tax, Freight, Total
Voided invoices show with a strikethrough on Total and are excluded from the detail-view totals footer. Sorted newest-first.
Detail intentionally omits the per-payment Cash / Check / Card breakdown — payments don’t map cleanly to individual invoices (multi-invoice payments, partial payments). To see what a specific invoice was paid with, open the invoice itself.
Tips
- Daily close workflow — at end of day, run the report for today, verify the Cash + Check totals match what’s in the till, and verify the Card total matches what’s in the merchant terminal batch.
- Month-end deposit reconciliation — run for the month, sum the Cash + Check columns, match against bank deposits.
- Sales-side mismatch troubleshooting — drilling into a date and looking at the invoice list side-by-side with the Sales Register for the same day will surface any discrepancy.
- For payment-side issues (e.g., “why is Wednesday’s card total off?”), open the Payment Register which shows every individual payment — Daily Sales Summary aggregates them.
