Sales by Department and Employee Report

This report is similar to the Sales By Department Report, but it organizes the sales breakdown information per employee in every department in which the employee made a sale. For every employee selected for the report, the employee's gross sales, returns, markdowns and net sales are calculated and grouped by the department in which they occurred.

For example, if employee Tom Jones made sales in departments 100, 200 and 300, then Tom's amounts and quantities would be listed for sales, returns, discounts and net sales in only those three departments.
