3 Daily Sales Reports
Flash Sales Reports: Overview
The Flash Sales reports provide an instant snapshot of sales at the moment that you select one of the reports. Three of the four reports display data in a column format and also in graphic format as bar charts and pie charts. The exception is the Flash Sales by Employee Report which does not include charts.
The Flash Sales Reports include four different reports, each of which may be displayed on the screen or printed:
Note:
The different Flash Sales Reports are selected by using the Display Options drop-down selection menu after selecting Flash Sales in the Reports menu.
Each of the reports provides a criteria selection screen where you can set the parameters that are used to select the data included in the report.
All of the reports may be viewed online and printed immediately, or saved so that they may be viewed later. Saved reports may be preserved with the original selection parameters or with the original data.
The Flash Sales reports are accessible from the Back Office Reports Menu and from the Employee Login screen.
