Questions & Answers
- Can I compare sales for different periods in the Sales Register?
Yes. You can compare sales for different periods by adding a new column to the Sales Register.
In the Sales Register:- Press Alt+C (New Column) and press Enter.
- Fill in the Column Details as required and press Enter.
Similarly, you can compare sales with other transactions or with different companies.
- Why does the Gross Profit in the Sales Register differ from the Stock Summary?
The Gross Profit may differ because the Sales Register and Stock Summary can use different methods to calculate the cost of stock. To match the transaction-level Gross Profit with the Stock Summary:
In the Sales Register:- Press F12 (Configure) and enable Show Cost based on Stock Valuation.
The Gross Profit may still differ in certain cases, such as when batches or godowns are enabled, discounts or additional costs are involved, or the actual and billed quantities are different.
- Press F12 (Configure) and enable Show Cost based on Stock Valuation.
- Why does the Sales Register value differ from the Profit & Loss A/c?
The Sales Register displays the complete sales value, including tax, whereas the Profit & Loss A/c displays the sales value without tax. Therefore, the values in the two reports may differ.
