This report allows you to compare sales made on two separate days. By default, when you enter a Compare Date it will auto-fill the Compare To Date field with the date for the same day of the week last year.
For example, entering 1/1/2018 will yield a Compare To Date of 1/2/2017 as these are both Mondays. You can override the suggested Compare To Date with any date you wish.
To run the report:
- Click Reports > Managements > Sales Comparison. The Sales Comparison Report window will appear.
- Specify a date in the Compare Date field.
- Compare To Date will auto-fill with the date for the same day of the week from last year. Override this if you wish.
- Use the checkboxes to indicate whether multi-step transactions should be counted as sales on intake (check the box) or pick up (leave unchecked).
- Click OK to run the report.
