Most reconciliation delays trace to export settings, not missing sales. Before Tuesday intake, confirm three things: date range covers the full cycle, tax columns are separated from net sales, and store identifiers match the names on your prior report.
Match store codes to location names
If your POS uses internal codes (LOC01, LOC02), include a reference sheet mapping codes to street addresses. Analysts will not guess which file belongs to which branch. A one-row CSV with code, address, and manager name prevents a same-day phone call.
Export net sales separately from VAT
Korean VAT handling varies by POS vendor. Export net sales and tax as distinct columns. When registers show a single combined total, reconciliation against your accounting export takes an extra pass and may delay labour sections.
Include void and comp counts
Performance reports flag operational patterns — a spike in voids during a specific daypart is useful context even when net sales look normal. Enable void and complimentary item columns in your export template if your system supports them.
File naming convention
Use chainname_location_YYYYMMDD.csv. Avoid Korean characters in filenames when emailing exports; some archive systems corrupt them. USB delivery to our Namyangju office accepts any encoding.
What to send with the export
Attach the manager sign-off sheet if your cycle requires one. Note any unplanned closures, POS downtime, or promotional days in the email body — we add these to the report commentary block.
