Manually Delete a DSS

Prev Next

Deleting a daily sales summary (DSS) is a troubleshooting step that triggers a repoll of data from the point of sale (POS).

Repolling Data

When changes are made within the POS to correct missing or inaccurate data, the DSS must be repolled in order to transfer the updated data to R365.

If the affected DSS is less than 30 days old, the fastest way to trigger a repoll is to delete the DSS record from the Daily Sales Summary (Classic) page. R365 regularly checks for missing DSS dates, and a deleted DSS will automatically repoll with the most current POS data within about 30 minutes.

For DSS older than 30 days, please contact R3565 Support to assist with repolling the data.

Since this action cannot be undone, it’s important to review all important notes and warnings before proceeding.


Security

To manually delete a DSS file, a User must have the following Permission:

  • Sales & Cash → Daily Sales → Delete Daily Sales

These permissions can be added to custom user roles or individual users. The Permission Access report can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see User Setup and Security.


Important Notes / Warnings

Depending on the POS System and date range of DSSs being deleted, the recovery and re-import of DSS data may not be possible. Data retention is set at the POS level and R365 does not have the ability to define the data retention in the respective POS Systems.

Deleting a DSS is permanent and cannot be undone.

The deletion process can take several minutes. After clicking 'Delete Selected', do not refresh the page or hit the refresh arrows on the table. Many records are being deleted during the DSS deletion process (DSS, Comments, Labor Accruals, Sales Tickets, and Journal Entries).

Manually deleting a DSS to repoll data will not retain any adjustments or prior changes made to the daily sales summary.
