We installed  Open Office [a free program] to open these report spreadsheets on the Print Computer. It’s free and can be installed it on any computer to the printers. Also, these reports are sent to the computer directly as a file. Although the spreadsheets automatically open, THEY MUST SAVED TO THE COMPUTER before they can be modified.

They don’t just print out like the Daily Closeout or Driver Checkout.\\  \All the reports compile the data from all the stores you have access to at that moment. Most of them have the data  split by store too. If you only want the data from one of your stores have someone sign into POS that only has  access to that one store.

Open these with Open Office Calc or Excel or other spreadsheet program. \\  \If too much data has been requested, it will just time out and no report is generated. Refresh the browser and try a smaller dataset. \\  \The best way to learn about these reports is to run them in different ways to see the results.
