New Concepts Export

This section describes the specifics of accessing and interpreting the New Concepts Export report.

The New Concepts Export report provides information about a list of items sold during a specific period of time. The report is intended for customers who have multiple CStoreOffice® accounts. When the report is run, CStoreOffice® retrieves item sales data from cash registers at selected stations (locations) and consolidates this data into one report. The exported data can be used for further analysis.
