General

Report Layouts control the content and format of the report, i.e. which fields appear on the report and how they are arranged.
Via the Report Selection you can specify which reports are used when printing a cash register document.

Report Layouts

In order for the cash register data to be printed on the A4 documents, the appropriate Cash Register report layouts must be selected. Via the Report Layout Selection page you can specify which layout should be used by default when printing a document.

If you use your own customer-specific layout for A4 documents, you must add the cash register data to this layout or select the cash register report layout manually when printing. However, it is also possible to print the sales slip with the cash register data in addition to the A4 document (or instead of an A4 document) via the Report Selection.

Available Cash Register Report Layouts
The following **RDLC** report layouts are currently available for the documents:
Report ID	Report Name
1306	Sales - Invoice
1307	Sales - Credit Memo
5911	Service - Invoice
5912	Service - Credit Memo

Tip

Use the search term 1306|1307|5911|5912 to filter all documents supported by the cash register.

The default layout can be selected via the Select Layout action:

Report Selection

Via the Report Selection - Cash Register page you can specify which reports are used when printing a cash register document. Basically, a distinction is made between A4 documents and sales slips in the Usage field. By default, the report selections of the A4 documents are used when printing a cash register document. The following applies: The settings in the Report Selection - Cash Register are optional and only need to be specified if a deviation from the Report Selection - Sales (or Report Selection - Service) is required. However, in order for the cash register data to be printed on the A4 documents, the appropriate Cash Register report layouts must be selected. But it is also possible to print the sales slip in addition to the A4 document (or instead of an A4 document).

Über das Feld Belegformat in der Registrierkassenbenutzereinrichtung kann festgelegt werden, ob die Berichtsauswahlen der A4 Belege (Standardeinstellung) oder die Berichtsauswahlen der Bons verwendet werden sollen. For more information, see Setup, Cash Register User.
