Receipts and Tickets

A receipt is one check, line by line — what was ordered, what it cost, what was adjusted and who served it.

A receipt opened from an event, with its line items and totals

Getting to one​

Usually by following an event, which is the right direction: you find something worth looking at, then open the check it belongs to.

Check numbers appear as links throughout the module, so a check referenced in a grid, a report or a statistic opens directly.

Reading a check​

The receipt shows the transaction as it would have printed, with the items, their prices, and the adjustments applied.

What you are usually looking for is the relationship between lines: an item added and voided moments later, a discount applied after the total, a refund with nothing corresponding to it. A single line rarely tells you anything; the sequence does.

Receipt Only shows just the printed content, without the surrounding event detail — useful when comparing against a paper copy.

Items and checks​

The Items and Checks views present the same data at different grain. Items are the individual lines; checks are the transactions they belong to.

Query at the grain your question has. "Which items are being voided most?" is an items question; "which checks were reopened?" is a checks question.

Split checks​

Where a check has been split, the parts are linked, so you can move between them rather than searching. A check split several ways is a common pattern worth understanding before drawing conclusions from any one part.

From receipt to video​

View associated cameras opens the footage for that register at the time of the transaction. This is the whole point of the module — the receipt tells you what was recorded, the video tells you what happened.

This action is recorded in the audit trail.

Video needs the desktop client; in a browser you get refreshing stills. See Using eConnect in a Browser.

Keeping it​

Download PDF on a check summary produces the receipt as a document — the thing to attach to a case, or to send to somebody who does not use eConnect.

From a camera's associated POS tile, clicking a check number opens that check in a window of its own, so the receipt can sit beside the footage rather than replacing it.

A check that matters belongs in a case, along with the footage. The path you took to find it is already in your Workspace.

Following a person rather than a check​

Where a transaction is associated with a recognised subject, you can move from the check to the person and see everything else about them. See A Subject Profile.
