Reports concerning Giveaways are as follows:
Giveaway Report
Found by navigating to Reports > Inventory > Giveaway, this is an analytical Giveaway report that shows the relationship between the giveaway and the item sold with it.
Commission Report
Found under Reports > Management > Staff > Commission, this report concerns commissions, but notice the Count Giveaway as a Penalty for % of Profit option in the filter window.
The option, if checked, indicates that giveaways will affect the associate’s commission. If it is not checked, giveaways will not penalize the associate’s commission.
This can only be calculated if the associate is set up for commission based on percent of profit. If the associate is set up for commission based on percent of profit, and the box is checked, then the penalty for the giveaway will be the commission percentage times the giveaway item’s cost, not price.
If the associate is set up for percent of retail, then the commission calculated will always be zero anyway, as the sale price for a giveaway is zero.
NOTE: In all report filters, there is now a new item status, Giveaway, that can be included or excluded on any inventory report or filter using letter code “G.”
