Click to view/hide picture.The Comps tab displays the polled comp figures for the day, or allows you to manually enter daily comp figures if you are not using Compeat polling. A total comp figure for each line item will be posted to the expense account defined for the code in Comps. Additionally, a total of the food comp amounts, liquor comp amounts, and tip comp amounts will be posted to statistical accounts (defined in DSR Definitions, Other Accounts tab) for sales tax reporting purposes.
Compeat automatically calculates running totals for the food, liquor, tip, and total columns and displays them at the bottom of the screen. This can be a useful check to ensure that an entry error has not been made, if you are entering comps from a POS report.

The detail grid contains the following fields:
Entity # The entity whose GL expense account will be debited for the comp. This field is editable if "Allow I/C Comps" is checked on the DSR Definitions screen, Other Accounts tab. When a different store is specified, Compeat debits the visiting store's comp expense account and automatically creates the inter-company between the two stores.
It can be useful to specify a different store, for example, when a visiting manager from a different restaurant is comped at your restaurant. If editing is enables, you can then change the entity number to direct the comp to the visiting manager's home store.
Code/Description Select a code or description from the list of comp codes or the list of associated descriptions previously defined in the Comps screen of Setup menu > DSR submenu. This is a required field.
Manager Select the manager who approved the comp. The list is populate from the Managers screen.
Server Select the wait person who served the comp. The list is populated from the Servers screen.
Reason Enter a reason for the comp.
Food Enter the total amount for the food that was comped.
Liquor Enter the total amount for the liquor that was comped.
Tip Enter the total amount for the tip that was comped.
Total Displays the calculated total comp; this is a sum of the food, liquor, and tip.
Tips and Tricks
It is sometimes necessary to adjust a customer’s credit card for a transaction that occurred on a prior DSR. You may need to charge the customer less or more money than was originally charged. Typically this occurs if the customer is given a comp after their credit card was charged, or if their card was charged for the wrong amount.
If the adjustment reduces a charged amount as a comp, enter it like any other Comp into the Compeat DSR.
If the adjustment is due to a previous overcharge, it should be entered into the POS (not Compeat) as a voided transaction. Depending on your POS, typically the adjustment on the POS will be dated the adjustment date, not the date the error occurred.
