Each Credit Card Code is associated with a distinct set of accumulators that collect and store sales figures. Every time you post a credit card transaction, the transaction amount is added to the accumulator amounts. This feature keeps a running total of your posted credit card transaction amounts, which you can view at any time during the period.

At the end of the period, after you entered and posted the credit card transactions, print the sales figures for the codes. The figures show exactly how many dollars in sales were posted to each code during the period. After you print the reports, reset the current period accumulator to zero to allow you to gather the sales figures for the next period. To reset credit card totals in the Sales module, select Period End Tasks > Purge Credit Card Codes Totals from the left navigation pane. Select Yes in the message that appears.

When you reset the credit card totals, the process zeros out the current period accumulator and transfers the amount that was in the current period accumulator to the period 01 accumulator. Then, it transfers the amount that was in the period 01 accumulator to the period 02 accumulator, and so on for each accumulator. The amount that was in the accumulator for Period 24 is discarded.
