Sales report is a convenient tool for managers and owners to monitor and analyze sales data in detail. Sales report is located under Sales module.
Selecting the period
By default the sales report will show sales for the current day. Common periods for generating reports are available as buttons when clicking on the period window.
Selecting a specific period can be done by clicking on start date and then clicking on the end date. By default the time is set as the start of the begin date and end of the end date. To see a report for an exact time period over selected dates e.g. from 8 o’clock from 10 o’clock over a period of a month, “Time indicates the slot period in one day” has to be selected.
Generating the report
After the period is set clicking the “OK” will generate the summary report for the selected period.
Report can be detailed using filters which can be found the right side.
To filter result different options outlined in blue can be selected, outlined in red is grouping functions. As displayed in the image the report would be filtered to only include sales of the products under Milkshakes product group and the results would be grouped or listed by product name.
Comparing the results of different time periods
Comparison view can be activated by clicking the “+”.
An extra period window will appear which is for the comparative period. The example is set to compare the current year and last year sales of Milkshakes.
As the report is grouped by product name it can be expanded to also show product names.
