generate/report.jpg Stock Sales - By Products (#119) generate/enh73.jpg


 

This report will produce a stock sales report for stock sold between any two sets of invoice numbers or dates. Options include:

Start Date

Start of sales to report on.

End Date

Last date to report on.

Compare From

Start of period to compare sales to. Leave blank if you don't want a comparison with another period.

Compare To

The end date of comparison.

Profit Above

Enter a percentage that represents the margin the sale of stock must equal or exceed in order for it to be included on the report. Leave as zero to skip this condition.

Profit Below

Enter a percentage that represents the margin the sale of stock must be equal to or less than, for it to be included on the report. Leave as zero to skip this condition.

Transactions (1-8)

Tick generate/tick2.gif the transaction types that are to be included on the report. All transaction types are included on the report by default, except for payments. (Which do not have associated stock sales.)

Include Tax

By default, the tax portion of the sales item is not included as part of the sales total. Tick generate/tick2.gif to include tax in the sales figures on the report.

Include No Sale Stock

Tick generate/tick2.gif to include stock that has not been sold during the specified date range on the report.

Include No Sales Only

Tick generate/tick2.gif to only include stock that has not had sales for the specified date range.

Estimate Cash Orders

If ticked, cash order type transactions will have stock costs included on the report according to current stock pricing.

generate/notepad2.gif Note that this report then becomes an "estimate" of expected/approximate costs. (With cash orders the cost price of an item is not known until the item is finally sold and delivered.) However, if you use cash orders and do not estimate their cost on this report you are likely to underestimate your real costs.

Include Full Lay-bys

By default lay-by or cash order transactions are treated as 'full sales' by this report. In other words, the sale is recognised as complete (although you may not yet have been paid in full). Untick to override this option. In which case the cost of the lay-by is shown on the report but not its derived income.

List Kit Components

When unticked the Stock Sales Report will list the cost and sell prices of entire kits only. This is desirable if the components that make up the kits are of small value and/or not sold separately. For example, IC's in electronic devices, various food mixtures in the production of packaged foods, etc.

Where the individual components that make up a kit are of higher value, for example, the pieces of furniture in a lounge suite, or the various hardware components in a computer, then tick generate/tick2.gif this option to list the parts that make up the kits, rather than the kits themselves, on the report.

When ticked CAPITAL uses a ratio to calculate the sale value of the component according to the component's cost price, relative to the cost price of the entire kit. For example, if the cost price of a particular component is $10 and the total kit cost price is $100, then the component's sell price on the report is calculated as being 10 per cent of the kit's total sell price

The formula CAPITAL uses is:

Component Cost / Total Kit Cost * Kit Sell Price

generate/notepad2.gif As the formula requires division, a small degree of rounding error is inevitable. This will be more pronounced when CAPITAL has to deal with fractional quantities and amounts. To determine the degree of 'error' print the report without listing kit components and compare this to the kit component total. The difference will be the amount of rounding error.

Only Marked Special

Only stock items that have their Special setting in Stock Control marked will be included on the report if this option is ticked. This is useful if you only wish to report on a very selective set of items, such as promotional stock.

As Mark-up

Will show percentage mark-up on report.

As Margin

Will show percentage margin on report.

Account Type

Select the account type from the list. The default is 'regular' which includes standard and cash account related sales.
