SALES REPORT

PURPOSE:

Create customized reports for the purpose of comparing sales activity for a specific time period. Comparisons of time periods (this year's first quarter against last year's first quarter) can also be done.

The information in this report is generated from results of input entered in other accounting options.

REQUIREMENTS:

Reports will not print unless the following files exist:

  • A valid Company Setup Information File
  • Valid GL Chart Of Accounts File
  • Valid Transaction Type File
  • Detail Journal Entries for the period in question.

Any information you have entered must have already been posted using Evaluate/Maintain Detail Journal menu, before this program will access the information. You will be prompted if not all Detail Journal records have been properly "linked and posted" before hand.

This menu option is only a report, no processing is done at this time. This option can be run as many times as is required.
