Methods, systems, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to generate corrected projection data for stores

A computer-implemented method to reduce projection error associated with retail register devices, the method comprising:

• retrieving, by executing instructions with a processor, transaction code values associated with receipts generated by the retail register devices;
• identifying, by executing instructions with the processor, a direction change in a first subset of the retrieved transaction code values to determine a register reset occurrence based on a candidate pivot transaction code value;
• verifying, by executing instructions with the processor, the register reset occurrence based on values associated with a second subset of the retrieved transaction code values;
• grouping, by executing instructions with the processor, retrieved receipts and the retrieved transaction code values based on a geographical location associated with each of the retail register devices;
• and
• reducing, by executing instructions with the processor, retail sales projection error by calculating a transaction count for the retail register devices based on the retrieved receipts and the retrieved transaction code values.

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage media comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to, at least:

• retrieve transaction code values associated with receipts generated by retail register devices;
• identify a direction change in a first subset of the retrieved transaction code values to determine a register reset occurrence based on a candidate pivot transaction code value;
• verify the register reset occurrence based on values associated with a second subset of the retrieved transaction code values;
• group retrieved receipts and the retrieved transaction code values based on a geographical location associated with each of the retail register devices;
• and
• reduce retail sales projection error by calculating a transaction count for the retail register devices based on the retrieved receipts and the retrieved transaction code values.
