Synopsis

DESCRIPTION

Generates different sales report. In the following discussion, the word "sale" refers to Sales, Store Credits and their Voids. The different types of sales reports are:

  • An accrual sales report.

  • A deferred revenue report.

  • A cash based sales report (collections report).

The accrual sales report included all transactions whether or paid or not. The accrual sales report may include the total sale amounts based on the time that the sales were entered into BillMax. Alternatively, the sale may be subdivided based on the dates (startdate and enddate) for which service is delivered as recorded in the sale.

The deferred revenue report include amounts billed for service to be delivered in the future.

The cashed based sales report include amounts that are billed "AND" paid. It does not include payments that are not Allocated to a sale.

The accrual sales report and deferred revenue reports may have the amounts calculated by several different algorithms. Please see the -p option and Chapter 3, BillMax for Accountants.
