Overview
In this article, you will learn about Sellercloud’s Sales Comparison Summary report. This report compares the current period’s sales to those of an earlier period.
Sales Comparison Summary shows sales performance based on specific parameters. You can generate this report based on the following parameters:
- Company: Company, Company Groups, and Channel.
- Comparison: Compare By, Compare Interval, Comparison Method, Comparison Type, and Intervals Back.
