POS - Sales Insights FAQ 

Q: Why is my default cost always $0 and my profit the same as my sales?

A: In order to see a possible profit calculation on this dashboard you will need to set a cost per unit in the POS for each product. The system takes into consideration the cost of each unit sold vs the sell price in order to determine a profit measure.

Note: Cost per unit needs to be set for each product prior to the item being sold. If you have discovered that your is set at $0 and you then make updates, the data on this dashboard will not retroactively change to reflect the updates 

Q: Are the reports available through the POS Export button the same as the reports that are available in Campspot?

A: Yes, these reports provide the same information and are the same. There are now multiple ways to access them with the addition of the export button on this dashboard. 

Q: What is the difference between Total Amount Sold and Total Quantity?

A: The total amount sold is the quantity sold multiplied by the selling price and the total quantity sold is only the number of items sold.
