Sales, Backlog, Forecast Summary

The Sales, Backlog, Forecast, Summary report compares actual sales figures, including backlog sales (outstanding sales order lines not shipped) against the cumulative forecast.  Sales backlog will be included in the report when the backlog flag is set to Y. 

The report may be selected to print financial and/or statistical sales information.  Sales totals are printed for each sales period end within the selected period range.  You may also select specific ranges by company/ location, product class and product subclass.  This report provides sales performance information that will include those orders already placed though not shipped, hence permitting a better evaluation against expected sales results.

In a multi-currency environment, the base currency and currency description are formatted in the upper left-hand corner of the report, just under the report number.
