Family Group Sales Report

The Family Group Sales Report prints a detailed summary of Family Group Gross Sales, Item Discounts (including Subtotal Discounts that are configured to act as Item Discounts), and Net Sales consolidated by Family Group (in the Menu Item Maintenance module, each menu item must be assigned one Major Group and one Family Group).

The usefulness of this report depends on consistency and logic in configuring the Menu Item module and in defining Major and Family Groups. Family Groups are generally thought of as more specific categories than Major Groups and often as subsets of a Major Group. For example, the Family Groups, APPETIZERS and SALADS, are subsets of the Major Group, FOOD. Likewise, Family Groups, DRAFT BEER and BOTTLE BEER, are both subsets of the Major Group, BEER.

The Family Group Sales Report provides summary information in a fixed format. This report provides four basic totals (Sales Count, Gross Sales, Item Discount, and Sales Total) for each Family Group. The end of the report provides a grand total section for all Family Groups.
