# Sales Report

See selling, cost, and gross profit for every invoice or approved order in a period, and compare it with the period before.

Turnover doesn't show what each sale earned. The **Sales Report** in OrderEazi lists every invoice or approved order in a period, with its selling price, cost, and GP (gross profit). You can compare it with the period before.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Sales** permission, in the **Reports** permission group, and **Export (All Reports)** to export it. If you don't have them, ask your OrderEazi administrator.

### How to run the report

1. In the main menu, go to **Reports** > **Sales**.
2. Set the **Report date range**. It can't start in the future.
3. Tick **Previous Period** to add a table for the same length of time just before.
4. Under **Include orders that are:**, choose **Invoiced** or **Approved**.
5. To narrow it down, choose **Tags**.
6. Select **Generate Report**.

### What the report shows

Each row is one document, with its **Document Date**, **Customer**, **Project Number**, **Document Number**, and **Sales Rep**. The figures are:

* **Total Selling**, **Discount**, and **Net Selling**: The selling price before the discount, the discount, and the selling price after it, all excluding VAT.
* **Total Cost**, **Expenses**, and **Mark Up**: The product and shipping cost, the project's share of expenses, and the selling price over the cost, as a percentage.
* **Total GP** and **GP %**: **Net Selling** less **Total Cost** and **Expenses**.
* **Total Project GP** and **Total Project GP %**: The GP for the whole project, including lines not on this document.

Hover over **Units** to see the quantity of each product. A **Grand Total** row adds up the period.

### Which documents count

With **Invoiced**, the report lists Tax Invoices dated in the period. Credit Notes are shown as negative rows, and a "LateCost" row is a cost added after the project was fully invoiced.

With **Approved**, it lists Sales Orders created in the period.

A project's expenses and shipping are shared across its documents by value. **Total GP** is worked out from today's costs, so it changes if expenses are added to the project later.

**Example:** You run the report for March on **Invoiced**, with **Previous Period** ticked. March shows R450 000 net selling and R112 500 GP, which is 25%. The February table below shows R400 000 and R92 000, which is 23%. You can see sales and margin both grew.

### How to export

Select **Export**. The Excel file has a sheet for the period and, if you ticked it, one for the previous period, each with a totals row.
