Read the sales summary

Understand gross sales, discounts, credits, refunds and net sales by account.

  1. 1

    Choose the report period

    Open Read the sales summary from Reports. Choose a period preset or enter From and To. Optionally select a Batch, then Apply. Dates and batch work together, so widen the period if a batch appears incomplete. Financial reports require owner, administrator or finance manager access.

    Reconcile gross sales to net sales

    Check the Cash basis or Accrual basis badge. Each account and the total show gross sales before tax, discounts/credits/refunds, and net sales before tax: gross minus reductions equals net. Cash follows settled allocations and actual refunds; accrual follows posted revenue and adjustments. Deferred sales remain liabilities until recognized. Only separately recorded discounts can be shown; discounts already included in prices cannot be reconstructed here.

    Export the filtered report

    Open Export and choose Excel workbook (.xlsx) or CSV file (.csv). The file uses the active filters and current language. The screen shows at most 500 rows; exports include every matching row. If there are no results, check the date and clear restrictive filters. If a historical journal backfill warning appears, have the missing history completed before treating totals as complete.
