8.5.  Summarized Sales History

The Summarized Sales screen provides several different filters for getting at summarized sales history information. Here are some tips for using this screen:

  • Be sure to enable all the column headers you want to see in order to take full advantage of the data available on this screen.

  • Isolate the sales information you're looking for by combining the grouping options with the custom search filter options.

  • Search for orders using the customer's P/O number.

  • Prices are normalized to the base currency using the currency exchange rate effective on the invoice date.

  • Don't forget to save your custom search filters so you and others in your organization can use them for future searches.
