52 Weeks High & Low Report
The 52 Weeks High & Low Report shows the maximum and minimum quantities of an item sold in a single week during the past 52 weeks. For instance, if the "52 Weeks High" column in the report shows 200 for an item, it signifies that the highest sale quantity for that item in a single week was 200 units in the last 52 weeks.
- You can view the report using four report types: by items, By Department, By Department Group, or By Manufacturer. For example, if you view the report using "By Department," the system will show the highest and lowest number of units a department sold in any week over the past 52 weeks.

Report Fields:
- Item: This column shows the item's name.
- UPC: This column displays the item's Universal Product Code (UPC).

- 52-Week High: This column indicates the maximum quantity of an item sold in a single week during the past 52 weeks. For instance, if the column lists 200 for an item, it signifies that the highest sale quantity for that item in a single week was 200 units in the last 52 weeks.
- 52 Weeks Low: This column indicates the minimum quantity of an item sold in a single week during the past 52 weeks. For instance, if the column lists 0 for an item, it signifies that the lowest sale quantity for that item in a single week was zero units in the last 52 weeks.
