DSS Journal Entries

Prev Next

For POS Integrated Locations, Restaurant 356 generates a Daily Sales Summary (DSS) each day for the prior day's Sales and Labor. The system also creates three DSS Journal Entries from the data on the DSS:

  • Sales 

  • Labor

  • Statistical journal entry

DSS Journal Entries reflect the information as well as the Approval Status of the DSS that created them. The DSS Journal Entries are also the debits and credits that post to the General Ledger. This creates a direct link from the POS system to the GL.

Update DSS Journal Entries

No changes can be made to a DSS Journal Entry while viewing the DSS Journal Entry record. All changes must come from the DSS file from which the system generated the DSS Journal Entry.

To update a DSS Journal Entry, first open the DSS that generated it. The Approval Status of the DSS must be 'Unapproved' to make and save any changes to the DSS and the DSS Journal Entries. With the DSS in 'Unapproved' status, make the necessary changes to the DSS file and save the DSS record. After the user saves the DSS record, the changes appear on the DSS Journal Entries in the Accounting module.

Approve / Unapprove DSS Journal Entries

The approval status of a DSS Journal Entry depends on the DSS record from which the system generates it.

DSS journal entries are automaticaly approved when the corresponding DSS record is 'Approved' in the DSS grid (or via mass DSS review).

Unapproving a DSS will unapprove the corresponding DSS journal entries.

Statistical Journal Entries pull in Guest Count and Transaction Count daily from the DSS to track additional operational data for budgeting and reporting. The Guest Count and Transaction Count Statistical Accounts are the only default Statistical Accounts in the system. Learn more about user-created Statistical Accounts and how to import their data.
