Five receipt habits that quietly lose you margin

Discounts, voids and split payments — what to watch on the register.

Receipt printing at a shop counter

Margin rarely disappears in one big mistake. It leaks out of small habits at the counter. These are the five we see most often in pilot data.

  • manual discounts without a reason code

  • voids after the drawer has opened

  • split payments that skip the loyalty step

  • price overrides that never get reset

  • returns booked to the wrong store

What to do about it

Tallysoft flags each of these in the daily brief with the receipt attached, so you can fix the habit with the person who has it — not with a spreadsheet at the end of the month.
