Viewing Customer Sales Histories

Use the Customer Sales History screen to view a customer's sales dollars and your gross profit percentages by month for two consecutive years. The screen displays the difference between the two years in gross profit percentages with the ability to move forward and backward through the years of sales history for a customer.

To view customer sales history information:

In the File Name field, enter BP. In the Edit Program field, enter CUS.SALES.HIST. In the Run Program field, enter CUS.SALES.HIST. In the second line, enter R, and press Enter. The Run Subroutine Program screen displays. Press Esc. The system displays the Customer Sales History screen.
