Running the Product Sales History Report

Use the Product Sales History report to measure how much you sold of an individual item.

Note: You can display the product sales history on your purchase order Body tab continually using the View > Show Product Sales History which may provide the information you seek on a order by order basis without having to run the Product Sales History report.

To run the Product Sales History report:

  1. From the Purchase >Reports, select Product Sales History, to display the Product Sales History criteria window.

  2. In the Branch/Territory field, enter the branch or territory for which you want to run the report. Type ALL to include all branches and territories.

  3. In the As of Date field, enter the ending date of the period to include on the report. The date must be equal to or earlier than the current date. Enter a calendar date or a variable date.

  4. In the Select by field, use the drop-down list to select which kind of report you want to run:

Note: Selection in this field determines the purpose of the next field. For example, if you select Buy Line in the Line Type field, the next field displays as the Buy Line field and the Buy Line hot key activates.

  1. In the Select Items field, identify the product status to include in the report:
