If you have a compatible barcode scanner, you can scan the barcode on receipts after bringing up the Orders screen to quickly find the order in the system. 

 

20. Is there an eHopper compatible printer that will allow me to print receipts without the internet?

Yes, the eHopper All-in-One devices have inbuilt printers. Also Star TSP 100 BlueTooth printers can be connected to Android and Windows devices (for Windows PC a Bluetooth extender might be needed). You can also use native Bluetooth printer on the Poynt Smart terminal 3G device to print directly from the Poynt without an internet connection. 

 

23. Why is there a discrepancy between the Z Report and Product Mix Report?

If any items from the shift you are reviewing in the Z Report were refunded after the register was closed (and the shift ended), the total sales amount will be more than the Product Mix Report for that same time period because the Product Mix Report does not include sales from items that were later refunded (while the Z Report displays all sales data that occurred from that particular shift). Refunds from items that were sold in that shift will only be taken into account in the Z Report if their refunds occurred in that same shift.
