Q: How did my register actually do yesterday, last week and last month, store by store?
That's the question the new POS report in Octabiz is built to answer. On 25 October 2026 the eye on your register moved to a full branch report, by day, week or month (v1.20.1208). A day later, on 26 October 2026, it got easier to find, picked up Locations and its time views, and started counting free orders on their own line.
In short
Key takeaways
The register's eye opens a full branch POS report by day, week or month (v1.20.1208).
It sits first under Customers & sales, and an empty today opens the last day with sales (v1.20.1215).
Locations opens each branch's tills, with Yesterday, Last 7 days and Last 30 days views (v1.20.1218).
Free orders are counted on their own line, not as customer discounts or best sellers (v1.20.1218).
What changed for you
Here is what shipped, release by release, as the release notes describe it:
- A full branch report from the register's eye. Tapping the eye now opens one branch's day, week or month in Reports (v1.20.1208, 25 October 2026).
- The Z report's rules. The branch report works out one branch's day, week or month by the Z report's rules, so it follows the same rules as your end of day close (v1.20.1172, 25 October 2026).
- Easier to find. The POS report sits first under Customers & sales in Reports, not in the sidebar (v1.20.1215, 26 October 2026).
- No empty morning screen. If today has no sales yet, the report opens the last day that had some (v1.20.1215).
- Store by store. Locations opens each branch's tills, with Yesterday, Last 7 days and Last 30 days views (v1.20.1218, 26 October 2026).
- Free orders on their own line. Free orders are counted on their own line, not as customer discounts or best sellers (v1.20.1218).
How to open the POS report
These steps use the names exactly as the release notes write them; we've left out anything the notes don't show.
Open the POS report and check a branch
- 1
Open the report
Tap the eye on your register, or go to Reports > Customers & sales, where the POS report sits first.
- 2
Pick the period
Switch between day, week and month for the branch you're looking at.
- 3
Choose a branch
Open Locations to see each branch's tills.
- 4
Pick a time view
Use Yesterday, Last 7 days or Last 30 days.
- 5
Read the free orders line
Look for free orders on their own line, apart from discounts and best sellers.
Checking first thing in the morning?
If nothing has rung up yet today, the POS report opens the last day with sales instead of a blank screen (v1.20.1215).
Who it helps
If you run more than one location, Locations opens each branch's tills, so you can look at one store at a time without adding up each till by hand.
If you close the register yourself, the week and month views follow the Z report's rules (v1.20.1172), the same rules your daily close follows.
With late October here, daily and weekly register numbers start to matter more as the holiday season gets close.
Also new at the register: sales by employee, layaways and special orders
On 26 October 2026 we also shipped layaways and special orders and a sales by employee report (v1.20.1240). If you're deciding how much to take up front on a special order, our post on Special Order Deposit: How Much to Take and What It Protects You From covers that; for ordering stock, see our post on quick purchase orders in Octabiz.
