Random Sales Report Overview
The "Random Sales Report" will pull a literal random sale from the system to display, This can be used to hold a fun little raffle for customers or cashiers.
It can display between 1 and 5 sales in a time frame of 1, 2, or 3 weeks from the # of Weeks To Include field. By default, it counts the selected week from the current day. For example, if you have selected # of Weeks To Include as 1 Week, the system will count 1 Week from that day unless you have applied Start Week from Yesterday, which will count 1 Week from yesterday.
Several types of filters can also be configured, depending on your requirements. You can select the top 1-5 sales within the 1-3 weeks and group by location and/or start week from yesterday. The system displays the location, cashier, customer name, email, phone number, register number, receipt, and receipt identifier.
