Summary: On a Philippine Qashier POS set up for BIR, the Reports screen has an X-Reading tab (your sales report for any date range, with a BIR Additional Information section) and a Z-Reading tab (the daily BIR report with sales-invoice numbers, counters, VAT breakdown and special discounts). You can view, print and email both from the POS, and view, export and email the Z-Reading Report from QashierHQ.
Applies to: Philippines only · Qashier POS and QashierHQ · stores that Qashier has registered with BIR. The X-Reading, Z-Reading and Transaction List tabs appear on Philippine stores; the BIR Additional Information section, reprint marking and the QashierHQ Z-Reading Report page appear only for stores Qashier has set up for BIR. In QashierHQ, a user needs the Z-Reading Report access right.
Before you start
Your POS must be BIR-registered through Qashier. See [Philippines] How to register your Qashier POS with BIR (Permit to Use / PTU). If you do not see the X-Reading and Z-Reading tabs, contact support.
To email a report, from the POS or from QashierHQ, the store email must be filled in under Settings in QashierHQ. The report is sent to that address.
To print, load receipt paper in the built-in printer or the additional receipt printer.
For what the special discounts (SC, PWD, NAAC, SP, MOV) mean and how to apply them, see [Philippines] BIR Special Discounts (SC/PWD/NAAC/SP/MOV), Receipts & Audit Reports.
X-Reading and Z-Reading: what is the difference?
X-Reading is your normal sales report for the date range you choose. On a BIR store it also shows a BIR Additional Information section with Beginning OR#, Ending OR#, Opening Fund, SC Discount, PWD Discount, NAAC Discount, SP Discount, MOV Discount, Refund and Cashier name.
Z-Reading is the end-of-day BIR report. It shows one block per business day with Beginning SI and Ending SI (first and last sales-invoice number), Beginning Time and Ending Time, Beginning Balance and Ending Balance, Beginning Void # and Ending Void #, Z-Counter, Reset Counter, Net Amount, VATable Sales, VAT Amount, VAT Exempt Sales, Zero Rated Sales, the five special discounts, Other Discount, Voided Amount, GC Sales and a breakdown by payment method.
On Qashier POS: view, print or email
On the POS home screen, tap the ☰ menu and then Reports.
At the top of the Reports screen, tap X-Reading, Z-Reading or Transaction List. The selected tab turns black.
Tap the calendar icon at the top of the screen (enter your PIN if the POS asks). In Select Date Range, choose the day or period you want: up to 31 days for the X-Reading and Z-Reading, one day at a time for the Transaction List. Z-Readings are shown per day within that range.
Read the report on screen. Scroll down on the X-Reading tab to find the BIR Additional Information section.
To print: tap the print icon, then OK. The report prints on the built-in printer, or on your additional receipt printer if one is set as the main receipt printer. If you print an X-Reading or Z-Reading for a date range that was already printed on this POS, the printout is marked as a reprint.
To email: tap the email icon. The POS shows Email will be sent to address: followed by your store email. On the Z-Reading tab the dialog is titled Export Z-reading Report to Email; on the X-Reading tab it is Export Sales Report to Email; on the Transaction List tab it is Export Transaction List to Email. Tap Send. The POS confirms with Your request was successful! Kindly wait a few minutes to receive your email.
