Sales Statistics Form
If you use the Keep Item History option, the Sales Statistics form lets you:
-
Enter sales and return quantities and amounts for the years and periods for which you keep data in your Inventory Control system (if you use the Allow Edit Of Statistics option).
-
View sales and return statistics kept for each item.
Note: To edit sales data, you need security rights for Day End Processing and/or Item Maintenance.
If you want to use the Sales Statistics report to assist you in managing your inventory, use the Sales Statistics form to add sales (and returns) data for your inventory items during setup.
You can add sales data for reporting periods from the current year and from previous years. After setup, Inventory Control automatically updates these statistics when you run day-end processing, but you can edit the statistics as needed, if you use the Allow Edit Of Statistics option.
Multicurrency ledgers
If you have a multicurrency system, you enter statistical amounts in the functional currency.
