The use of analysed sales day books

Some businesses sell more than one type of product so to keep track of the values of sales of those different product they will make use of analysed sales day books.

These day books may be separated by:

• Different types of goods sold (paint, wallpaper, brushes, services etc.)
• Different departments (furniture, carpets, curtains, hardware etc.)

Analysed sales day books usually use extra columns so each thing being analysed can be totalled separately at the bottom. These books are not standardised and if used what they contain are determined by the needs of the business and the information the owners and managers need.
