detailed sales report -- Total costs and Total profits

When we run detailed sales report and group by product, it appears the cost column displays the unit cost per item and the profit column displays the profit per item, but not total costs (cost times quantity) and total profit (profit times quantity).

For example, a row of data reads

qty sold sold price total sales cost profit

2 2.5 5 .59 1.91

If I sold 2 items which cost .59 each, that's $1.18 of total cost against $5.00 of sales, leading to $3.82 total profit.

Is there a report that will give me total costs and total profits? It seems like this is the best way to analyze profitability. The unit cost and unit profit and sum of unit costs and sum of unit profits don't tell me much.

Hi there,

Agreed that out of the box some of the reports wont help you in some cases. Get a hold of your partner to see if they can help you alter or create soem custom reports to refect what you need.

PS: GP% on the reports doesnt work too well either.

Look at the "top items" report under the top performers report category. It's pretty minimal in terms of detail (just item code, description, qty sold, total sales and total profit) but maybe it'll help.

Good luck!
