Information about how the sales data in the POS interface is calculated can be found in Key Figures: Sales and Distribution.

Number of Transactions

Number of transactions generated for a characteristic.

Depending on the characteristic, this key figure has varying degrees of importance:

This is the case, for instance, if you display the key figure for sites or cashiers. In this case, the key figure represents the number of transactions generated for each store or for each cashier.

This is the case, for instance, if you display the key figure for articles, merchandise categories or conditions. In this case, the key figure represents the number of transactions that contain the article, the merchandise category or the condition.

Number of Article Items per Transaction

This is the case, for instance, if you display the key figure for sites or transactions. The key figure shows the number of transaction items generated for each site or receipt.

This is the case, for instance, if you display the key figure for articles, merchandise categories or conditions. In this case, the key figure represents the number of transaction items in which the article, the merchandise category or the condition appear.

Average Number of Items per Transaction

Average number of items per POS transaction. This key figure is calculated during the standard analysis.

The key figure is calculated by dividing the number of transaction items by the number of transactions.

The system can only calculate this key figure in standard analyses which have not included article-dependent drill-downs or article-dependent selections.

If you drill down according to article, merchandise category or condition, then the transaction is distributed over the articles. This changes the view of the data, which means that the system is unable to calculate the key figure.

Average Sales per Transaction

This key figure is calculated during the standard analysis. It is derived by dividing the sales by the number of transactions.

The system can only calculate this key figure in standard analyses which have not included article-dependent drill-downs or article-dependent selections.

If you drill down according to article, merchandise category or condition, the transaction is distributed over the articles. This changes the view of the data, which means that the system is unable to calculate the key figure.

Number of transactions ended by the cashier pressing the CANCEL button.

Number of Transaction Cancellations

Number of transactions canceled by the cashier. The value is transferred to the POS.

Number of Immediate Cancellations

Transaction Cancellation Quota

The transaction cancellation quota shows the relationship between the number of transaction cancellations and the number of transactions.

This key figure is calculated as follows:

Transaction cancellation quota = Number of transaction cancellations / Number of transactions

The best case scenario is when the key figure equals 0.

Immediate Cancellation Quota

This key figure shows the relationship between the number of immediate cancellations and the number of transaction items.

The line cancellation quota is calculated as follows:

Immediate cancellation quota = Number of immediate cancellations / Number of transaction items

The best case scenario is when the key figure equals 0.

Line Cancellation Quota

Number of line cancellations compared to the number of transaction items.

This key figure is calculated as follows:

Line cancellation quota = Number of line cancellations / Number of transaction items

The best case scenario is when the key figure value equals zero.

Scanning Rate

Proportion of the articles scanned to the sum total of articles

The key figure is calculated as follows:

Scanning rate = Number of scanned articles / Total number of articles

The best case scenario is when the scanning rate equals 100.
