Reports on POS
On your POS iPad device, go to the Reports tab to access your various reports.
Print report

Filter report
Tap the grey date fields to filter which period you want to analyse your sales. On the Sales By Category and Top Selling Products reports, you can choose to: Note: When you input a date range, the page will automatically load results without requiring any additional button clicks.
Filter by session
Filter by period
If you filter by session, you are filtering your sales within a certain timespan for each individual day.
e.g. If you filter by session for Monday-Wednesday, 10am-5pm, you're going to get the sales for:
Monday 10am-5pm + Tuesday 10am-5pm + Wednesday 10am-5pm
This will exclude any sales on Monday at 6pm, Tuesday 9am, etc.
If you filter by period, you are filtering your sales across a certain timespan for a range of dates.
e.g. If you filter by period for Monday-Wednesday, 10am-5pm, you're going to get sales for:
Monday 10:00am-11:59pm + all of Tuesday + Wednesday 12:00am-5:00pm
This will exclude any sales made at exactly 10:00am on Monday and at exactly 5:00pm on Wednesday.
The visibility of these reports will depend on what user is accessing them and what permissions you have set up.
Daily POS print-outs
There are three daily reports you can print from your POS printer when you close your register at the end of the day:
Sales Summary: your day's sales across all tender types, and the opening and closing cash
Sales Item Report (a.k.a Top Selling Products report): a list of each product that was sold
Sales Category Report: a list of each product that was sold, organised in categories
On Nomni Console, you have access to a larger variety of reports. This article will mention some of the reports that are available to you.
Start Trading Time (report hours)
Each report runs from 12:00AM to 12:00AM each day, to encompass a day's operations.
However, if you operate until 3:00AM, for example, you may wish to alter your Start Trading Time so that your report runs from 3:00AM to 3:00AM.

The report also includes the sales by time/day/date information as a list.
You can click on a time/day/date to view the list of invoices from that period (Invoice View).
Click on an invoice number to expand the invoice details.
Compare two periods
In the Compare tab, select your date ranges for Period 1 and Period 2.

You can filter the list by date range and product category.For example, if your product is categorized under "LATIN," set the category filter accordingly to narrow down the list of products.
What's not selling so well?
To view all the products which haven't sold at all, select "Non-Selling Products" instead of "Selling Products".
Extras/Product Variants

Use category filters: If the product is not listed, apply category filters to locate items that may not appear under their expected names.
Export Top Selling Products Report
There are three kinds of reports you can download:
Top Selling Products Report - all products with sales (including products that haven't sold at all)

Gift Card includes purchases made with a gift card
Credit Account includes purchases put to a credit account (regardless of whether credit accounts have been topped up)
Discounts
As discounts can be created in a number of ways, the way the discount is reported will depend on the way that the discount was made:
Cash/Credit Card include discounts made through on-the-spot price changes
e.g. if there was an on-the-spot discount of $5, and the customer paid the remaining amount by cash, it will be considered a $5 cash discount. This is also how discounts redeemed from loyalty points are recorded.Coupons are recorded as their own separate tender type
Note: Price Triggers are not recorded as discounts.
Refunds
The tender through which a refund was made will be shown here.
Export Tender Report
You can only export a Tender Summary when you are in Nomni Console. Additionally, Tender Reports can only be exported one month at a time. If you need data for multiple months, you must export each month separately and combine the files manually.Month tab.
This includes a breakdown of your sales into tender type, without discounts or refunds.
Note that reports can only be viewed by predefined periods (Day, Week, or Month). Custom date ranges, such as 13–26 July, are not supported. To analyze a specific period, you will need to review the relevant days, weeks, or months individually and aggregate the data manually.
Workarounds for Export Limitations

Aggregating Data for Custom Periods: Extract data for the relevant days, weeks, or months and manually calculate totals or averages as needed.
