3.3 Include In Sales Reporting
The Include In Sales Reporting drop-down allows you to filter the report records based on three parameters: All Departments, Only Include in Sales Reporting, and Not Include in Sales Reporting.

What is "Include In Sales Reporting?"
When creating or editing a Department, the corporate employee can use the "Include In Sales Reporting" feature to determine whether to include the department's sales data in the overall sales report. This feature is typically used to distinguish between items that contribute to the business's income and those that don't.
- The corporate employee creates separate departments for items that are given as complimentary (not as part of a discount or offer), are for internal use, or any other items they may not want to include in the sales report, and disables the "Include In Sales Reporting" button for those departments.
When generating the report, you or the corporate employee can view the report records based on three options: all departments, departments with the "Include In Sales Reporting" button enabled, and departments with the "Include In Sales Reporting" button disabled.
These options are available via the menu selections "All Departments," "Only Include in Sales Reporting," and "Not Include in Sales Reporting," as shown in Figure 3.3.1.
Figure 3.3.1
- All Departments: By default, the system selects this option, displaying items from all departments.
- Only Include in Sales Reporting: When you select this option to generate the report, the system will show only the items from the departments for which the "Include In Sales Reporting" button is enabled.
- Not Include in Sales Reporting: When you select this option to generate the report, the system will show only the items from the departments for which the "Include In Sales Reporting" button is disabled.
Select the option that best suits your requirements to generate the report.
The report will show the records based on your selection. However, the report format will be the same as shown in Figure 2.1.
4. Scheduling a Report
FTx Cloud POS supports report automation, allowing you to configure and schedule a report. The system will then send the scheduled report to the designated email addresses at the specified frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.).
5. Printing / Exporting a Report
You can print or export any report according to your requirements. When you use the Print function, the system creates and opens the report's PDF file in a new tab. You can download the soft copy or print the paper copy according to your requirements.
