Sales spreadsheet

[goodgrief]

I am a little confused what the below means in the selfemployeduserguide:

Enter Letter A = Sales turnover Product A, use of separate product analysis optional.
Enter Letter B = Sales turnover Product B, use of separate product analysis optional
Enter Letter C = Sales turnover Product C, use of separate product analysis optional


Do these columns mean a category of the products I sell for e.g

Product A= Brand new
Product B= A return but resellable
Product C= Second-hand goods

Or, are the above the products........... I actually sell:-

Which means I would have to add more columns (depending how many products are in my inventory.)

So Product A then is...Teddy Bear and Product B is Beanbag......and so forth.

If that's the case then this would be a mammoth task If I have over 50 products.

Please advise, thanks.

You can enter all sales in column A if you wish, The columns A, B, C are to offer the opportunity to analyse the sales into 3 different categories if that is what you prefer.

Best not to add additional columns as the add ons would not be linked into your profit statement. 3 columns should be enough.

I would tend to advise using just column A unless you wish to know the sales totals from different sources e.g. use columns A and B if you had 2 shops, or say you had a market stall and also sold on Ebay and a website then use A, B and C for Retail, Ebay, Website

Thank-you for clarifying.

That information is very helpful.
