Sales statistics can be used for retrieving information about the profits of a specific item or an item category. When dealing with configured items, sales statistics can also be used for retrieving information about the profits of different variants of the same product.
For statistical purposes, the items can be divided into six different item categories. The item category for an item is defined in the Item file maintenance, Basic data. To be able to track the profit of an item, you enter the parent item in one of the item categories. See Define an item category for either a parent item or component item.
To be able to track the profits of the variants of the end item, you have to configure the item categories. All attributes need to be added to an item category table. The item category table must then be connected to the attributes of the configurable item. See Set up the item category tables for use in Product Configurator.
The statistical information regarding the configurable product can then be retrieved using either the Sales statistics functionality or Report Writer. For more information about Sales statistics, see About sales-related statistics. For more information about the Report Writer, see About Report Writer.
