The Business Snapshot compiles data from multiple sources into a single, downloadable PDF. It provides periodic point-in-time summaries across various metrics to help you understand overall company performance at a glance.
Things to know:
- Access to this report is controlled by the “Accessing Reports” access control setting
- Closed Ticket Date: When run using this filter, the report includes only services, classes, and product/membership/gift card/package sales linked to closed tickets.
- Service Date: When run using this filter, all services and appointment values appear regardless of ticket status. For the most accurate financial reporting, we recommend using Closed Ticket Date.
- Staff Compensation: The "Include Compensation" checkbox determines if the Staff Compensation table is included. It is unchecked by default to reduce report generation time. This option is only visible if "Track compensation by staff member" is enabled in your account settings.
- The layout and logic of your report change significantly based on your selected revenue filter:
- Revenue at Time of Use
- This filter tracks revenue when a service is actually performed or a product is handed over
- Gift Card, Membership, Package, and Prepaid columns are hidden
- Revenue from redemptions appears in the respective Service, Class, or Product columns (net of discounts and refunds)
- Tips paid via gift card or membership value credit, the full tip amount is displayed in the TIPS column, ensuring totals align with your Tips Report.
- Revenue at Time of Purchase
- This filter tracks revenue the moment the client pays for an item or credit
- Gift Card, Membership, Package, and Prepaid columns are displayed
- Collected surcharges are displayed in the Collections Adjustment table
- Tips paid via gift card or membership value credit are excluded from the TIPS column in the Collections Adjustment table to avoid duplicate reporting of funds already collected.
- The Total Collected column in the Collections Adjustment table and the Total column in the Payments Received table will typically match. However, differences may occur in situations involving deposits or gift card redemptions. These discrepancies exist because each table pulls data from a different report and uses different date logic.
- Payments Received Table
- Pulls data from the Daily Payments report
- Records transactions based on the payment processing date, regardless of ticket status
- Includes gift card redemptions
- Collections Adjustment Table
- Pulls prepaid and net revenue data from the Daily Revenue report
- Revenue is based on the ticket close date, or the appointment date if no ticket exists
- Gift Card Redemptions & Tax
- Timing: If a gift card is redeemed on Sept 18 for an appointment on Sept 23, the Payments Received table shows it on Sept 18, while the Collections Adjustment table shows it on Sept 23.
- Tax Handling: The Daily Revenue report does not track sales tax. If a gift card covers a $20 service and $2 tax:
- The Prepaid column will only show the $20 service portion
- When cross-referencing, add the tax portion back to the Prepaid column to align totals.
- Ticket Edits & Tax Recalculation
- If a ticket is edited after the original close date, the tax adjustments are recorded on the date the edit occurred: Example:
- A ticket closed May 7 with $1.65 tax is edited July 8 to add a service with $1.00 additional tax.
- May 7 Report: Shows only the original $1.65
- July 8 Report: Shows the additional $1.00
- Forfeited Deposits (Cancellation Fees): If a deposit is kept by the business after a cancellation, it is reclassified as a Cancellation Fee. Example: A client pays a $25 deposit but cancels their appointment. If you choose not to refund them, the $25 will appear in the Cancellation Fee column on the date the appointment was canceled and the ticket was finalized.
- The Register table is only displayed when generating a snapshot for a single day. It is hidden for multi-day date ranges
- To keep the report clean, the system automatically hides columns for features you do not use (e.g., if you don't offer Classes, the Classes column will not appear)
- MyTime uses a precision of six decimal places (e.g., $210.132356) for all Snapshot calculations to ensure accuracy.
