Sales & Costs Report

Overview:

The Sales & Costs Report enables you to report your inventory item, category, and department costs in dollars and as a percentage of sales. The costs are calculated using receiving, transfers, production, and inventory depletion. This report can be summarized or include item detail.

The difference between this report and the Actual Cost of Sales Report is it does not require a starting and ending inventory count date. It can, therefore, be run for any date range to provide you with a spot check on your cost of sales.
