The Drawer Summary is the report you run at end of day to reconcile the till. It shows everything collected, broken out by payment method and by what kind of invoice it came from.
Go to Reports > Accounting > Drawer Summary.
The top of the report shows three big numbers: Net in Drawer, Gross Collected, and Refunds Issued. Below that:
- Money Collected by Payment Method: each method (Cash, Credit Card, Check, Financing, EFT) totals separately, with sub-rows showing where it came from (customer invoice, dealer invoice, warranty, repair).
- Refunds Issued: any money that went back out, by method.
This report counts money that physically arrived, dated by when it arrived. That means a payment against an older invoice counts today, on the day you took it, not on the day the invoice was written. Store credit, write-offs, and balances still owed on account are deliberately left out: none of them put money in the drawer. On-account balances appear here only once the customer actually pays.
Use this report to count cash in the drawer against the Cash row, and to confirm your credit card batch matches the credit card total.
When something does not match, open Drawer Detail for the same dates. It lists every payment individually with the invoice, who took it, the card last four, and the authorization code, and it breaks split payments into their separate parts. Its Net in Drawer ties to this report's Net in Drawer.
Most shops add this report to their nightly package. Open it, set the filters you want, confirm the numbers, then click "Add to End of Day". Configure the package under Settings > End of Day Reports.
