Retail Pro comes with a wide variety of ready-to-use, predefined reports for each functional area - sales, purchasing etc.) These reports can be run very usefully just as they are. Modifications can be easily made to any report, and then retained for the next time the report is run. For example, on reports sorted by department, you might insert subtotals for each department. You can design your own reports by starting with an existing format, or making it from scratch.
