Trading figures

Trading figures represent the quantities and value of goods bought and sold. Trading figures for a stock item are available if the item is set to maintain a movement history.

Monthly figures are generated from transactions stored for the stock item. The monthly figures are not stored in the Stock Control module whereas the period figures for the current and last period are. Resetting the trading figures affects the period figures by:

• Clearing the last period and moving the current period figure into the last period.
• Setting the current period figure to zero.

When you decide to reset the figures is entirely up to you. Before doing this you should decide whether you need to keep a printed record of your trading figures. If you do, you should use the View Monthly Trading Figures report that produces a report for a single stock item.
