What is the sales by category and product report?

This report will provide you with information on all sales made, in the reported time period, by product and category of transactions that have not been cancelled. That is, all sales made that have been canceled will not be considered when generating this report, unlike returned sales transactions, which will be shown.

You will be able to check information such as the amount of sales made, current stock, sales price, unit cost and total cost in stock. This will make it easier to purchase products to supply your stock and build customer loyalty by obtaining the best-selling products.
