Your accountant wants the Z reports, and you send a file.

After cash count the Z report is in the panel, VAT is split by rate. You enter expenses and receipts during the week, and at month end you download the booking file and VAT overview for bexio, DATEV, Sage or your accountant.

The shoebox stays shut.

At month end the email from your accountant arrives: Z reports, receipts, VAT. Without a system that means sorting till rolls, pulling receipts out of your jacket pocket and typing everything into Excel. In Forn every Z report has been in the panel since the evening of the cash count. You enter an expense when the invoice arrives and attach the receipt. What’s left is an export, not an evening with the calculator.

How it works.

End-of-day close

VAT by rate, not by hand.

The till knows the channel of every order. In the restaurant 8.1 % applies, for takeaway and delivery 2.6 %. In the panel the VAT collected per rate is ready, for a month, quarter or year.
