Excellent input, guys. Just what I'm looking for. Thanks and keep 'em coming.
just keep in mind the reports are also only as good as the data put into the system......we break things out in alot of ways so we can see just where problems are.....we dont have just a "sales" input.....we have newsstand sales, paper sales, display advertising sales, classified advertising sales, legal advertising sales, print shop printing sales and computer printing sales....ect
while you can go to far and get obsessed with splitting to the point the reports get huge and a pain to get through, you will do well to break up stuff in to numerous categories as makes sence so that if you start wondering what areas you are doing great at and what areas need help you can go to a report and find out and not just have you sold X amount in services total.....and we do the same with costs, each area of the business gets kept track of.....
