Index to Reports: Sales Tab
For all items sold, this report compares dollar sales, units sold, gross profit and percent margin in the selected year, based on recorded invoices, not including orders or quotes.
Report Tip:
As with most analysis reports, focus on the percent difference. What changed from year to year? Look at items you emphasized this year. Did any of your sales campaigns pay off? If you ran a sale, did you make more money or just sell more units? To select multiple months, click and drag the month selector in the Report Filters window.
