Hi.
Does Market allow / generate sales reports?
Thank you,

i have a similar issue. rght now i am using ccnow, which has a monthly and yearly sales reports. these reports detail how many of what item sold every year and every month. i run a record label where we have to be able to pay several artists based on exactly what they sold, but I'm finding that many shopping cart/e-commerce solutions seem to have all the bells in whistles but lack any real reporting features, which would turn accounting into a nightmare. i read the above response and looked at paypals reports but the main issue there is that the only reporting is done at the transaction level, not on what is actually sold. it cannot tell you that transaction x was for 3 of item y. or say that you've sold a certain number of an item in year 2009.
so my question is, do you all have any intentions to add a sales report like this to the market theme?
it truly is the only thing holding me back from purchasing it, as it would create a big problem with accounting.
thanks,

Yes, I confess that the sales reporting features of Market are fairly simplistic.
As time goes on, this is an area that deserves improvement, so it will be addressed down the road.
At the current time however, it is what it is.
For what you're doing, you may be able to utilize the "inventory control" feature. You could just set all of the inventory levels at a high starting number like "1000". Then, as each one is sold, the number will decrease — and you can see how many of each were sold. (start with a high number, so you don't sell-out)
Inventory levels ARE shown on the Market Theme sales reporting page, so that could actually work for your purposes.
At the end of the year, you simply subtract from your starting point to see how many you sold. And then you can reset the starting point back to the initial level.
Hope this helps.
