## Summary
Review sales reports so you can understand performance more clearly across shifts, days, or other reporting periods.

## Before you begin
- Make sure sales activity exists for the period you want to review
- Confirm your account has access to reporting tools
- Decide which reporting period matters for the question you want to answer
- Make sure the data is synced before using the report for decisions

## Steps
1. Open the sales reporting area in Selio.
2. Go to the sales reports section.
3. Select the report period you want to review.
4. Review the main sales figures shown in the report.
5. Compare the current period with operational expectations.
6. Use the report to identify strong performance, weak periods, or unusual patterns.
7. Continue into deeper review only if the report raises a question that needs more investigation.

## Troubleshooting
- **The sales report looks incomplete:** Recheck the selected period and confirm all business activity is included.
- **Numbers feel inconsistent with live service memory:** Validate with transaction reports and close-of-day review instead of relying on memory.
- **Managers use the wrong date range:** Always confirm the reporting window before reading the numbers.
- **The team reads top-line sales without context:** Compare sales review to staffing, promotions, voids, or unusual service conditions.
