Using the Best Sellers Report

Tapping Best Sellers in the Other Reports screen displays the report. From this screen, you can

  • View your most profitable products, grouped by income account.
  • Change the date range of the report.
  • Send the report by email, print it or open it in another app.
What does the report show?

The report shows your best selling products, grouped by income account. The table shows:

  • Qty sold - Quantity sold.
  • Sales - Financial value of sales (excluding tax).
  • Cost - Only stock products carry an associated cost in EasyBooks. The cost is calculated when each sale is entered as the average cost price per unit of stock unsold multiplied by the quantity sold.
  • Profit - Sales minus cost.
  • Margin (%) - The margin is calculated as (Sales - Cost) / Sales. 

    Note: Sales of services have no associated cost is EasyBooks, so achieve a margin of 100%.
How does EasyBooks pick the initial date range?

The Next P&L Consolidation date from your Business Settings is used as the end date of the report. If this date has not yet passed, the report uses current date instead. If you've consolidated your profit and loss, the day after your last consolidation is used as the start date. Otherwise the date of the earliest transaction is used.

How do I view a previous year's report?

Use the back and forward buttons to change the report date quickly to the previous or next financial period. The report will run for the whole of the financial period selected.

Options in the settings Menu:

This button is used to send or print the report. It uses the standard Apple sharing panel and allows you to send the report by email or AirDrop, print it to an Airprint-compatible printer or send it to another app such as Dropbox. Three file formats of the report are available.

  • As shown (HTML) - The HTML format will open in a web browser.
  • Comma separated (CSV) - The CSV format contains the same information and is more suited to importing into a spreadsheet.
  • Both (ZIP) - The ZIP format contains both the HTML and CSV files compressed into a single zip file.
