The Sales Analysis Inquiry allows you to view detailed Year-To-Date and Last-Year sales information for selected customers, products, salesmen, etc. You can also select more than one variable to further focus your report.
The tabs on the Sales Analysis Inquiry screen will display Year-To-Date, Last-Year, Variance, and Variance % totals broken down by month, for Sales, Units, Gross Profit Dollar Amount, and Gross Profit Percentage.

The sales information is displayed based on the Sales Journal Period of the invoice. For this reason, these numbers may not match to reports run based on the Invoice Date of the orders, such as the Who Bought What Report.
