Viewing Lottery Inventory

You can view the lottery sales and inventory in the following ways:

• For a specific date and shift — at the top of the page, select the date and the shift you need.
• To calculate shortages for all lottery items for saving them further in the current day/shift, select the Full Inventory check box.
• To calculate shortages for the edited lottery items only for saving them only in the current day/shift, clear the Full Inventory check box.
• For the specific period of time — in the left menu, under Related links, click Lottery Inventory Report and then set the period you need in the report. For more information, see Instant Tickets Sales and Inventory Report.

Understanding the Workspace

The lottery sales and inventory information is displayed in the following fields:

• Game #: Game number automatically assigned by the system.
• UPC/Name: UPC and name of the lottery game. For more information, see Setting up Games List.
• Beginning Inventory: Initial inventory for the shift, which is calculated according to the following formula: Physical Inventory since the Last Shift + Purchases - Sales.
• Physical Inventory: Physical inventory entered manually after calculation.
• Short/Over: Discrepancy between sales records and audited statements.
• Purchases: Purchases of the game tickets during the specified date and shift.
• Book Inv: Book inventory calculated according to the following formula: Book Inventory = Beginning - (Sales + Purchases).

Entering or Deleting Physical Inventory for Lottery

To enter the physical inventory value for a game, follow the steps:

1. Count the number of tickets for the UPC both at the register and in the back stock.
2. Click the game you need.
3. In the Physical Inv. column, enter the total retail value you have.
4. Click Enter.
5. Proceed the same way with the rest of the games, and then click Save when you are done.

To delete the physical inventory value in a game, select this game, click Delete and in the confirmation window, click OK.

If the lottery game was reconciled prior to a lottery purchase, come back to the Sales and Inventory Section and adjust the value in the Physical Inventory field.
