- . It can be filtered by

- too.
- The report also shows important information like whether the gift voucher is paid for, the voucher
Code
- and the
Expiry date
- if relevant. This is a good way of working out your current gift voucher liability.
Search for gift vouchers
If a customer comes in with a gift voucher you can search on the code to find the details of the voucher by going to Setup > Gift vouchers and clicking Search purchased gift vouchers.
Sales report
Gift vouchers are not included in sales figures as they are a liability until they have been redeemed and transferred into revenue for a service, product, etc.
You can still get an idea of your total gift vouchers issued and redeemed for the period of the sales report though. Click the link to pop to the Gift voucher activity report for more detail.
Pro accounting tip: A liability is an obligation and it is reported on a company's balance sheet. For gift vouchers, this means you are obligated to allow that customer to redeem their voucher for a set amount, and it will not be counted as revenue until it is redeemed.
