Create the Sales Revenue—Products & Services report

The Sales Revenue—Products & Services report displays a list of items you sold in a selected period or date range. The report shows the item type (stock, non-stock, or service), quantity (or hours for services) sold, net sale amount, cost amount, profit amount, and profit percentage of each item.

The formulas used to calculate profits are:

  • Profit amount = Sales price – Cost price
  • Profit % = Profit value / Sales price x 100

Ensuring accurate calculations

To calculate the profit amounts, be sure to enter cost and sales prices for all items before creating invoices or credit notes. The profit amounts are calculated according to the cost and sales prices of the item at the time the invoice or credit note was entered. Changing the prices later will not change the profit calculations on the report.

Note:

If a non-stock item has a negative cost price, the default sales price is zero.

Running the report—why and when?

The Sales Revenue—Products & Services report is extremely beneficial and is often considered a core financial report. You can run it anytime you need up-to-date insight on the revenue generated by the sale of your business' products and services. Typically, you would run this report at least monthly to monitor your sales revenue.
