Comparative Sales (Report)

Compares one month's Order/Invoice amounts and year to date Order/Invoice amounts to the prior year's. Amounts are based on invoice amounts and ship dates for the month and year selected.

The report will compare all Order/Invoice amounts through the last day of the month selected to the prior year's Order/Invoice amounts for that same month. In contrast to item sales reports, amounts are based on invoice amounts and not ordered amounts.

To print the Comparative Sales report:
1) From the Vendor or Customer form, select Comparative Sales from the Reports List. By default, Order/Invoice amounts are grouped by customer when the report is selected from the Vendor form and by vendor when the report is selected from the Customer form. This grouping can not be changed.

2) Enter or select a date from the MoYr control to see a comparison of sales for a particular month and year (mm/yy, mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yy, or mm/dd/yyyy are acceptable date formats). This combo box lists all months and years that orders have been entered for.
3) Select a field from the SortBy control. By default, the report is sorted by the extended amounts for the 'Month Selected' in descending order. As long as a field other than Customer is selected to sort by, the Top/Bottom control can be used to confine the report to only the top or bottom percentage of the values in the field selected.

4) The Sort Descending/Sort Ascending control is used to toggle the Top/Bottom control to show either the top sales or bottom sales respectively.
