What are the key differences between X-Reads and Z-Reads, and why is it dangerous to leave a large sum of cash unsecured overnight?

11. Scenario:
Putting the change directly into your personal pocket violates workplace ethics because it is a form of theft or misappropriation of company funds.

12. Scenario:
Two distinct physical security features on a high-value banknote to check for authenticity are:

• A watermark, which is a faint image embedded in the paper that is visible when held up to light.
• A security thread, which is a thin strip embedded within the paper, often with microprinting, that is also visible when held to light.

13. Scenario:

• An X-Read (or X-report) provides a summary of sales activity since the last Z-Read without clearing the sales data. It can be run multiple times during a shift to check current totals.
• A Z-Read (or Z-report) finalizes the sales for a specific period (e.g., a shift or trading day), clears the sales totals from the system, and prepares the terminal for the next trading period. It can only be run once per period.
