*Section: Reports · Updated: 2026-10-19*

By the end you will know which report answers which question about your sales: what sold, who sold it, at what discount, and how the period compares.

All of them are under **Reports** in the sidebar. Most have a date range at the top, a **Warehouse** choice, a search box, and **Print**, **PDF** and **EXCEL** to keep a copy.

## Sales Report and Product sales report

**[Sales Report](/app/reports/sales_report)** lists every sale with its **Total**, **Paid**, **Due** and **Payment Status**. **Filter** narrows it by customer, warehouse, status or payment status. See [Reports to check every day](/app/help/reports-to-check-daily) for reading it day by day.

**[Product sales report](/app/reports/product_sales_report)** lists each product line of each sale: the **Date**, **Reference**, **Customer**, **Warehouse**, product **Name**, **Qty sold** and **Total**. Search a product's name to see everyone who bought it.

## What sells

**[Top Selling Products](/app/reports/top_selling_products)** ranks products by how many sales they appear in (**Total Sales**), with the money they brought (**Total Amount**). Pick a date range to compare periods.

![Top Selling Products: Code, Product Name, Total Sales and Total Amount, with Kiwi first at 31 sales and $ 332.88, then Honey Jar, Microwave Oven, Cucumber, Eggs, Nescafe Coffee, Water and Cooking Oil.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/77b0c5fd24-sales-reports-1-top-selling.webp)
*Ranked by how often a product sells. Total Amount shows which ones bring the money.*

**[Sales by Category](/app/reports/report_sales_by_category)** and **[Sales by Brand](/app/reports/report_sales_by_brand)** add the sales up per category or brand, with a total.

## Who sold it

**[Seller Report](/app/reports/seller_report)** totals each user's sales, names the **Top seller**, and splits each person's sales by payment method: cash, card, bank transfer and the rest. Use it to settle with each cashier.

## Discounts, held sales and returns

- **[Discount Summary Report](/app/reports/discount_summary_report)** lists each sale's **Line discount**, **Header discount** (on the whole sale) and **Discount from Points**, with a chart over time.
- **[Draft Invoices Report](/app/reports/draft_invoices_report)** lists the sales put on **Hold** at the POS and not finished, with their **Age (days)**. Old drafts are sales you may have lost.
- **[Return Ratio Report](/app/reports/return_ratio_report)** sets sales against sales returns, and purchases against purchase returns, as a percentage.

## The period at a glance

**[Analytics Report](/app/reports/analytics_report)** puts a period side by side: on the left the **Opening Stock** (by purchase and sale price), purchases, adjustments, expenses and discounts; on the right the **Closing stock**, sales, shipping and returns.

![Analytics Report for today: Date range, Quick ranges and Warehouse, then Opening/Purchase with Opening Stock (By purchase price) $ 29,393.48, Total Purchase $ 430.16 and Total Expense $ 35.00, and Closing/Sales with Closing stock (By purchase price) $ 29,663.11 and Total Sales $ 253.17.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/df0ed7b690-sales-reports-2-analytics.webp)
*Opening stock plus what came in, against closing stock plus what went out.*

**[3D Sales Dashboard](/app/reports/sales-3d-dashboard)** shows **Revenue**, **Orders**, **Avg Order** and **Customers** for a date range and warehouse, with 3D charts: sales by month and warehouse, top products, payment methods, the busiest hours of the week, and top customers. It suits a big screen in the back office.
