SECTION 3.4.4.2
- SALES ACTIVITY - BY DATE
USAGE: To report on daily sales. The report prints the
sales and cost-of-sales for a range of transaction dates.
DISCUSSION: Because this report must read through the
transaction file, it can take longer to generate than the SALES ACTIVITY - BY PERIOD report. However if you require the
information for one day or a week, etc. this report is your only option.
When you enter this program, the following questions
will appear:
USE LONG FORMAT REPORT If you are using wide stationery, reply Y, otherwise reply N. This question will only be
displayed if the relevant option is set to A, see SECTION 7.1.2.
TRANSACTION DATE RANGE This report is generated for a date range. By
default, the date range encompasses all dates. You can enter any start or end
date as long as they are valid dates and are in the correct order. If you wish
to limit the report to one day, enter the same date for both the lower and
upper limits.
LIMIT REPORT TO LOCATION This question is only relevant to companies using
multi-location stock. In this case, you may either choose to print the report
for one location or the combined total for all locations.
You will next be asked if you wish to include all
Inventory codes. If you answer Y, go directly to the START REPORT question. Otherwise, the following questions will
be asked.
The following question asks you to enter both a
lower and upper limit. The upper limit must not be less than the lower limit.
The default answers define the extreme limits of the field. You do not have to
change all of these limits. Only change the ones you wish to, and tab past the
others.
