For each of the areas highlighted above, column totals are calculated for the number of taxable sales, dollars earned on taxable sales, your costs, margins, markups, and other relevant information.

1. Category Group – This upper area of the Day Report breaks out Categories and then shows the Category Group, subtotaling the sales numbers and percentages, for all Taxable Sales.
2. Total Taxable – Below all of your category groupings there is a final Total Taxable line (pictured above) with totals for all your groups.
3. Total Nontaxable – In the same way as the taxable sales, all Categories that had non-taxable sales during the date range you've selected are grouped by Category Group, with subtotals for each group. Below the groups there is a final Total Nontaxable with totals for all the groups.

4. Total Sales – This area displays column totals for all sales during the date range and includes calculations for any discounts, returns, and voids.
5. Total Register – This area displays the total amount of sales plus sales tax, tips, and other similar ledger entries. This is the total amount that should be in the register at the end of the selected date range.  

6. Total Tendered – This area displays the tender type, the number of times that tender was used, and the dollar value expected for all sales during the date range. The Hits and Expected values are totaled for you. When this number matches the number in Total Register, your register is balanced. Verify that the numbers are correct and that you received this amount in deposit.
7. Total Cash – This area displays the cash takings per device with totals for the takings, count, and balance.
8. Total Tax – This area displays the sales values for each tax rule including the number of items sold, the dollar amount subtotals, tax amount charged, any refunds, and total taxes after refunds. Each column is totaled for you.
