Topic: Sales report per article

After using FA only for cost recording during construction of our hotel, we have now entered into business and we have been using FA for a little more than a month as a complete EPR, and it works great. 
As it is a hotel, all our sales are services.  We have defined 6 different room types and ectra payment for additional persons (also defined as an article).  However, I have found no way to make a sales report per article, i.e. how many nights have we sold room type 1 etc. in a given period.  Have I missed something?  I can of course make a query in MySQL but it would have been nice to be able to do it directly in the program.

Re: Sales report per article

Please have a look in both the sales reports as well as items and inventory reports,

I guess there should be some you can use.

Re: Sales report per article

There is an Item Sales Summary Report in the addon extensions and a standard Customer wise sales summary report in the core.

Check the wiki - Reports and Analysis

@Joe - please clean up the Wiki Sidebar and place Reports and Analysis on it as well.

The help for reporting is context sensitive. Can this be better? Hoerver I will think about it.

Re: Sales report per article

I am quite sure there is no item sales report in FA as I have been around all the corners.  As the items are services, there is (of course) nothing in the inventory report.  I shall try out the suggested Item Sales Summary Report extension and report back.

Re: Sales report per article

@Joe: please consider including the (Item) Sales Summary Report extension as part of the core as it should really be there.

Re: Sales report per article

Thanks Joe. You've named the report &Sales Summary Report, Detailed

It might have been better to be "Item &Sales Summary Report" to distinguish it from the Customer one.

Re: Sales report per article

Done. You may now remove the custom report, Sales Summary Report, from the Item and Inventory Reports. This new report replaces this one.
