Sales: Customer Item History Report

The Customer Item History report generates a list of all items purchased by each customer. The report will show each customer with a list of items purchased and includes the quantity, sales value, and optionally the cost. Alternatively, the report can show each item with all the customers units and sales figures listed below the item.

This report is somewhat unique because it allows both an item and a customer analysis code to be specified at the same time while also specifying a date range of invoice details.

The Customer Item History Report appears as shown in the following screens:

Report Types

Although there is not a "Report Type" selection, each of the "Sort Options" generates a different report type.

• The Customer Code sort will generate a report that lists customers and the Items that were purchased in both units and dollars.  Selecting "Total Weight" and/or "Total Cost" will add additional columns to the report.
• The Sales Rep sort will add an additional layer and list in the customer sales Data below the sales rep which was used on the invoice.  When sort by "Sales Rep" is used, the option to start a "new page by sales rep" is available so rep sales data can be separated.
• The Sales Volume sort will display customer sales data sorted by sales dollars, with the highest sales in dollars appearing first.
• The Item No sort will invert the "Customer Code" version and list each item, with the customers that it was sold to, in units and dollars. This report type will also enable the "Total Qty by Month" options. When selected the report will cover a period of one year.  Enter the year start date and the end date will be filled in automatically. The report will display the total quantity of the goods purchased for each of the twelve periods within a year.  A flattened export version that does not include totals or subtotals is also available to make spreadsheet analysis easier. To run this report type, use the settings shown in the following screen:
