Shop & Save / Fuel Loyalty: This option enables the fuel loyalty program and displays information about sales made within this program in the shift report > Common Report section > Sales Summary subsection.

Please note that if the Shop & Save / Fuel Loyalty option is enabled, you will need to enter or correct the Shop & Save or Fuel Loyalty values in the shift report each time before accepting the shift. As a result, loyalty data that came from CR will be overwritten by manually edited data. If you want to receive and save in CStoreOffice® the Shop & Save or Fuel Loyalty values as they come from the cash register, do not select the Shop & Save / Fuel Loyalty option in the station options.

For more details on how to set up the calculation method for the loyalty discount in shifts, see Verifone Sapphire/Topaz/Commander Settings. For more information on how to analyze the shift report data, see Understanding Shift Reports.

Depending on the Apply Items Inventory Tickets Adjustments to Store Inventory option state, the Retail and Total Book Inventory values differ in the Category Inventory Level and Itemized Inventory by Tags reports correspondingly:
- If this option is selected, the non-itemized adjustments are deducted from the Retail and Total Book Inventory values.
- If this option is unselected, the Retail and Total Book Inventory columns display their values disregarding the non-itemized adjustments.
