Sales Men/Ladies Sales

The Sales Men/Ladies Sales report measures sales performance by salesperson. It can show a consolidated total for each salesperson or break performance down by day, week, month, year or hour. The report also supports one store or all accessible stores, cash/credit transaction types, a specific salesperson ID, gifts/rewards, services, invoice counts, ATV and UPT.

Criteria

CriteriaWhat it does
StoreLimits the report to one store. The list follows the stores available to the logged-in user.
All StoresIncludes all stores currently available to the user. The Store selector is disabled while this option is selected.
Trans. TypeSelects Cash Sales or Credit Sales. Each selection includes its corresponding returns so the report remains net of returns.
All TypesIncludes cash sales, credit sales and their returns together.
Sman IDFilters the result to one salesperson ID. Leave blank to include all matching salespeople.
Date From / ToDefines the reporting period.
Include inactive storesLoads inactive stores into the Store selection. This option is shown only to users with access to all departments.
Transaction handlingCash Sales uses transaction codes 51 and 53, Credit Sales uses 52 and 54, and All Types uses 51, 52, 53 and 54. Returns therefore reduce the salesperson's net quantities and amounts rather than being ignored.

Consolidated view

Consolidated is selected by default. IMS combines the complete selected date range and produces a summarized row for each salesperson instead of separating the result by time period.

IMS Sales Men/Ladies Sales consolidated view
Consolidated view: one summarized result per salesperson for the selected criteria.

While Consolidated is selected, the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly and Hours controls are disabled, and the period columns are hidden.

If All Stores and a specific Sman ID are selected together, IMS can also show the Store column so the selected salesperson's activity can be separated by store.

Period views

Clear Consolidated to enable period reporting. IMS then shows a period column and allows the following views:

ViewResult
DailyOne row per salesperson and date.
WeeklyOne row per salesperson and calendar week, displayed as Year - Week.
MonthlyOne row per salesperson and month/year.
YearlyOne row per salesperson and year.
HoursOne row per salesperson, date and hour. An optional From/To hour range can restrict the result.

Daily salesperson performance

The Daily view is useful when reviewing one salesperson across several dates. In the example below, Sman ID 1445 is shown day by day with quantities, amounts, rewards, services, invoice count, ATV and UPT.

Daily view filtered by Sman ID. The period breakdown is available whenever Consolidated is cleared.

Weekly view

No separate screenshot is required to use Weekly. Clear Consolidated, select Weekly, choose the date range and run the report. IMS groups the salesperson's results by calendar year and week.

Monthly view

Select Monthly to summarize salesperson performance by month within the selected date range. The same store, transaction type and Sman ID filters continue to apply.

Yearly view

Select Yearly for a high-level salesperson comparison by year.

Hourly view

Select Hours to add Date and Hour to the result. Leave the starting hour as Any to include all hours, or select a From/To range. If the ending hour is earlier than the starting hour, IMS stops the report and asks the user to check the Hours criteria.

Net AmtTotal Amt - Gift/Rewards - Services Amt.
Inv'sDistinct sales transaction/receipt count for the salesperson and selected period.
ATVAverage Transaction Value: Total Amt ÷ Inv's.
UPTUnits Per Transaction: Total Qty ÷ Inv's.

Totals at the bottom

The summary area totals the complete result set, not only the currently selected row. It displays Full Qty, Full Amt, Disc Qty, Disc Amt, Total Qty, Total Amt, Gifts/Rewards, Services Amt and Net Amt.

Net sales interpretationTotal Amt is the merchandise sales amount before subtracting Gift/Rewards and Services. Net Amt removes those two components, which is why Net Amt can be lower than Total Amt even when there are no returns.

Print Simple View

Print Simple View is available only while Consolidated is selected. It prints the simplified salesperson sales summary using the configured IMS report printer and the configured number of copies.

When Consolidated is cleared for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly or Hourly analysis, the Simple View print button is disabled because those detailed period rows are intended to be reviewed in the grid or exported.

Export, email and Save As

Export To Excel, Send By Email and Save As operate on the generated detail grid. Export and email availability depends on the logged-in user's permissions; Save As follows Excel-export permission.

Save As requires a generated result. If the grid is empty, IMS asks the user to generate a report first.

Permissions

The Sales Men/Ladies Sales menu is displayed only to users whose IMS policy allows access to salesperson sales reporting. Export to Excel and Send By Email are controlled separately by their report-output permissions.

Common questions this report can answer

Performance

Who sold the most?

Use Consolidated with the required store and date range, then compare Total Amt, Net Amt, ATV and UPT by salesperson.

Trend

How is one salesperson performing day by day?

Enter Sman ID, clear Consolidated, choose Daily and run the report.

Store coverage

Where did a salesperson sell?

Select All Stores and enter the salesperson's Sman ID. IMS can show the Store column alongside that salesperson's figures.

Timing

Which hours are strongest?

Clear Consolidated and choose Hours to compare salesperson activity by date and hour.

Sales Man/Lady master data

The salesperson ID and Name used by this report come from Manage → Sales Men/Ladies. That master also maintains each person's active status, join date and the stores where the employee can sell.

If a Sales Man/Lady is enabled for Can Add Sales, IMS can link the salesperson to an IMS cashier login and synchronize operational store access from the person's Can Sell In assignments.

Store master data

The Store criteria use records maintained in Manage → Stores. The Store master can also hold a Default Sales Man used by supported transaction workflows.

Service sales

Services Amt comes from Service Items maintained in Manage → Service Items. This lets salesperson reporting show service value separately from the normal merchandise amount.
