Specifying Location Type and Store Opening Date
To be included as a store by the Same-Store Sales Report SuiteApp, a Location must have Store selected in Location Type and a specified store opening date. You must specify these on every Location record that you want to be included as a store in the report. The SuiteApp will exclude from the report the Locations without these values specified.
The SuiteApp considers the Location as a store, whose sales will be referenced if that store is included in the report.
To specify Location Type and Same-Store Sales Opening Date:
-
Go to Setup > Company > Classifications > Locations.
-
Click the Edit link of the Location that you want to include as a store in the Same-Store Sales Report.
-
In the Location Type field, select Store.
-
In the Same-Store Sales Open Date field, specify a date.
The specified date will be referenced by the Days Excluded After Store Opening Date field, in Same-Store Sales Preferences, to calculate the store eligibility date. The store eligibility date is the Same-Store Open Date plus the Days Excluded After Store Opening Date.
Alternatively, if you do not want to use the Same-Store Sales Open Date field because you already specified the store opening date in another similar date field, then do the following:
-
Get the ID of the field (from its Field Level Help) where you specified the store open date:
-
Go to Setup > Same-Store Sales > Preferences.
-
Enter the field ID in the Store Opening Date Field ID.
-
Click Save.
After saving, Same-Store Sales Open Date field is not displayed on the Location record anymore.
-
-
To display the Same-Store Sales Open Date field again:
-
Go to Setup > Same-Store Sales > Preferences.
-
Click in the Store Opening Date Field ID field, but leave it blank.
The system gets Field ID of the default field, Same Store Sales Open Date.
-
Click Save.
-
Return to the Location record where the field is now displayed.
-
-
Click Save.
