## Steps

1. Open Reports → Sales. It opens on today.

3. Read the totals: sold, GST, cost, profit, still due; and the list of sales beneath. Open any sale from its row.

## Questions

**How is profit computed?**
Taxable value minus the cost of the batches the sale took, exactly as they were priced when bought; returns restock at that same cost.

**Why does the report not build when I change the dates?**
Reports build only when you press Generate, so a heavy report never runs by accident.
