## 🧪 TESTING CHECKLIST

Before going live:

- [ ] Create test register sessions
- [ ] Add some sales to each register
- [ ] Verify open/close times display correctly
- [ ] Test date range filtering
- [ ] Test user filter dropdown
- [ ] Test location filter dropdown
- [ ] Test search by user name
- [ ] Test pagination (25/50/100)
- [ ] Verify currency formatting shows 2 decimals
- [ ] Test with open register (no closed_at)
- [ ] Test export buttons structure

---

## 🐛 TROUBLESHOOTING

### No Data Appears
- Run migrations: `php artisan migrate`
- Add test registers to database
- Verify register_id is present in sales table

### Export Buttons Don't Work
- Export buttons have placeholder structure only
- Implement using Laravel Excel or PDF libraries
- Currently just display as UI placeholders

### Pagination Not Working
- Ensure per_page parameter is passed in URLs
- Check that extra filters maintain through pagination

### Filter Not Persisting
- All filter values are passed back in pagination links
- Verify GET parameters in blade pagination links

## 📞 DATABASE MIGRATION NOTE

The implementation includes two new migrations:
1. `2026_02_25_000001_create_registers_table.php`
2. `2026_02_25_000002_add_register_id_to_sales_table.php`

Run these with:
```bash
php artisan migrate
```

This will create the registers table and add the register_id foreign key to sales table.
