Cumulative totals (grand totals)
Cumulated totals are variables that cumulate the values from all sales. There are usually three known
grandtotals: GT1, GT2, and GT3. Their meaning is as follows:
GT1 - gross turnover - this means the cumulated total of all positive values registered in the ECR
GT2 - net turnover - the net turnover means the difference between gross turnover and negative turnover
GT3 - negative turnover - this means the cumulated total of all negative vlaues (refunds, discounts...)
registered in the ECR.
