Sales Date: Use the calendar to select a date that the count was taken. This is a required field.

Sales Type: This is a required field that COGS-Well will use to identify that the sales item counts were entered manually and not imported from your Point of Sale system. Use the drop-down to select.

Sales Template: If you set up Sales Template(s) then you can use the drop-down to select a template.

Sales Item Group: If you set up Sales Item Group(s) then you can use the drop-down to select a Sales Item Group.

Add Sales Counts - Entry Tab:

In the example below, we have selected to enter a count using "Catering Sales" as the Sales Type and "Special Event Sales Items" as a Sales Template.

Once your Criteria are selected, click on the "Next Button" or the "Entry" tab and a count entry grid similar to below will display:

Sales Count Entry Grid: All Items meeting the Criteria will be displayed in the entry grid. In the above example, we have entered the Quantity Sold for the first two Sales Items. The Retail Price for a Sales Item can be edited.

Special Toolbar Buttons: The buttons across the top right of the count entry grid provide additional features as described below:

Plus Button: Add an item to the Count Entry grid. This button will invoke a search and select Sales Items that are not already on the entry grid.

Arrow Up Button: Collapse all the Sales Categories or Groups to navigate to a specific Category or Group.

Arrow Down Button: Reverses the above Collapse feature.

Funnel Button: This button will filter out all of the items that do not have a count entry. This is a way to only view or edit counts for Items that have quantities sold entered.

Save, Save & Exit, and Exit:

Save Counts: The Save Counts button will save the counts you have entered.

Save & Exit: The Save & Exit will both save the counts that have been entered and then exit back to the sales count transaction grid.

Exit: If you Save before you Exit, and don't make any subsequent changes or additions, the Exit Button will exit back to the count entry grid. If you have any entries that have not been saved then you will be prompted whether you want to save the changes.
