Sales Detail Report
The Sales Detail Report provides detailed product sales figures based on a variety of criteria. This report can be located under Reports > Accounting Reports > Sales > Sales Detail Report.
This popular report has great versatility. The output of the report will reflect the sort options selected, so you can create many outputs of this report by choosing different sort options. This report will only show posted amounts and will not include sales tax.
The reason that we aren’t able to put tax on the Sales Detail Report has to do with rounding.
For example:If you have a single invoice and it has a product sold for Quantity 2 at $0.55, the tax on the product is $0. 0882, rounded to 2 decimals = $0.09 taxHowever, if you have 2 separate invoices with Quantity 1 at $0.055, the tax on each would be $0.0441, rounded to 2 decimals = $0.04 tax, so those 2 invoices added together would only have $0.08 taxNow if you were to add all of those invoices together, (Sales Detail or Spreadsheet), you end up with Quantity 4, and the tax will be calculated as $0.1765, rounded to 2 decimals = $0.18As you can see, with only a single product spread across a few invoices, there is already a $0.01 tax calculation difference.This customer’s account would show that they owe $2.37 (tax of $0.17), but the spreadsheet (or sales detail) would calculate out to $2.20 sales and $0.18 tax.This will not necessarily happen for every product or quantity, but the potential is there.
