I assumed the Month Trend graph in Reports showed monthly sales. However, when I compared it to our Monthly Sales, the totals are quite different. For example, last month, net sales before taxes were 78052, after taxes were 87021; yet the Month Trend showed 82191. We are cash and credit card sales only - no charge accounts. How is the Month Trend figure calculated? Thanks.

It counts all the sales totals for the month, excluding tax and shipping. It counts all closed transactions even if the sale has not been paid for.

What constitutes a "closed transaction"? What is the difference between a paid and a closed transaction? All our transactions are paid by cash or credit card. We have no charge accounts. I don't know of any other transactions that should be inflating the Month Trend figures. Can you help me understand this?
Thanks.

Using the Finish button will close the sale so that it can't be changed.

OK, we're back to the first question. We only have over-the-counter sales - every transaction is immediately paid by cash or credit card. There are no other type of transactions - no charge accounts. So why is there a difference between our monthly sales and the Month Trend figures? We don't "Finish" or "Close" any sale that is not paid.

It's a simple figure, it counts all the sale sub-totals for the month, excluding tax and shipping. Most sales reports are showing the total with tax and shipping. This is a trend graph. It's not intended to be a sales report.
