Running the Product Sales Report

Use the Product Sales Report to display product sales information. The report displays a detail listing of invoices by ship-to customer for pricing branches. The report also lists order statuses, credits, direct shipments, consignments, and customer and ship-to addresses. The ship-to addresses appear once directly underneath the first listing of the customer name. In addition, sales quantity, dollar amount, costs, and gross profit information display for each invoice.

Note: If you run this report for kits, the system lists the individual components that make up the final product on this report, not the actual finished product.

Use the sort by and select by options to modify the report. For example, you can run the report for a designated price line and sort the data by salesperson. In addition, you can use the include and exclude options to tailor the report to your needs.

Note: After you run the report once, the system saves the selections you made and associates them with your user ID. When you run this report again, the system displays the selections you made the last time. A "Save" message at the top of the screen indicates that your previous selections are being used. If there is no default or saved setting, the field is blank.
