Viewing Summarized Financial Information

To view summarized financial information for one or more branches or territories within your company, run the Branch Summary Inquiry. You can review your total sales, accounts receivable, accounts payable, purchases, and inventory as of a specific date. This inquiry gives you the total picture of how your business is doing.

To view only sales information, run the Branch Sales Inquiry. This inquiry compiles more quickly because it does not include accounting or inventory statistics.

To view a summary of a branch's financial information:

  1. From the Reports > Management Inquiries menu, select Branch Summary Inquiry to display the Branch Summary Inquiry window.

  2. In the Branch field, enter the codes that identify the branches or territories for which to view financial information. Enter commas between codes. To view financial information for all branches, enter ALL.

  3. In the Bookings field, enter one of the following values:

Note: This total may also include amounts entered in error. For example, if the sales representative entered a price of $10000, but meant to enter $100.00, the $10,000 amount is reflected in the original booking total, even if the sales representative later corrects the total to be $100.00.

  1. In the As Of Date field, enter the date as of which to view financial information.

  2. Click Update to display financial information based on your selection criteria.

Note: You can view the progress of the data compilation on the status bar. Compiling may take a few minutes.
