Salesperson Summary and Sales Tax By Line Item Reports

When reviewing sales data in Flawless POS to calculate commissions, you may notice discrepancies between the Salesperson Summary and Sales Tax By Line Item reports. This article explains the reasons behind these differences and provides guidance on when to use each report.

Why Do the Totals Differ?

The variance arises from the way each report calculates commissions:

• Salesperson Summary Report: This report calculates commissions based on the full sale price, including any trade-ins or discounts applied during the transaction.

• Sales Tax By Line Item Report: In contrast, this report calculates commissions on the net amount, which excludes trade-ins, discounts, or other adjustments.

This distinction means that the Salesperson Summary Report reflects the gross sale amount, while the Sales Tax By Line Item Report reflects the net sale amount after deductions.

When to Use Each Report

• Salesperson Summary Report: Use this report to assess the total sales performance of each salesperson, including all adjustments such as trade-ins and discounts.

• Sales Tax By Line Item Report: This report is ideal for analyzing the tax implications of each sale, focusing on the net amounts after adjustments.
  
  

Understanding these differences ensures accurate interpretation of sales data and helps in making informed business decisions.
