Overview
Back to topWith the Sales Report, you can access financial and sales data from several different, preset views. Each view provides data on gross sales, net sales, total sales, discounts, item/product quantity, and more from different perspectives.
There are seven different Sales Report types: Sales by Day, Booking Item/Product, Booking, Customer, Staff Member, Category, Item/Product, and Booking Fee.
Each of these can then be filtered by date source, date, the Staff member who made the booking, booking category, or by item/product.
In the following article, we start with how to use the filtering features to target more specific results. In addition, we look at how to configure the visibility of columns and export reports. All this, using the item/product report as an example. We then look at each type of report in detail.
