Abstract: A Point Of Sale (POS) system is presented that can consolidate and reconcile sales information from various POS terminals with financial information from one or more financial systems, including bank-related systems and credit-related systems. In some instances, the POS system enables a user to access, from a POS connected server, a financial report based on the reconciliation of sales and financial information associated with a sales transaction.

Abstract: A Point Of Sale (POS) reconciles generates revenue estimation data based on the reconciliation of POS sales transactions associated with a sales incentive (e.g., a store or manufacturer coupon). When a coupon is used in conjunction with a sales transaction at a POS, the coupon can be verified and factored in the sales transaction. The sales incentive data can be synchronized, along with other sales information in a POS connected server, where the data can be reconciled and analyzed for future reporting to a remote user requesting the revenue data. The POS connected server, or the POS terminal itself, can generate revenue estimations, return on investment calculations, and related reports.
