Reports are live. Every figure is worked out from the ledger and the sales you have recorded, so the numbers are current the moment you open the page.

## Sales

Choose a **date range**. You get **Daily totals**, the number of **days with sales**, and an **Item breakdown** of quantity and revenue per product. Use it to see what sold, when, and to check that the team recorded everything on a quiet-looking day.

## Profit

For the same date range: **Revenue**, **Cost of goods sold**, **Gross profit** and **Margin**, then **By item** so you can see which products earn most and which margins are shrinking. Cost is the weighted-average cost frozen on each sale line. See [How profit is calculated](https://jogan.cloud/help/how-profit-is-calculated).

## Inventory

Every item with quantity, minimum, status, **unit cost** and value, plus the total value of stock in your reporting currency. See [How to check stock levels](https://jogan.cloud/help/check-stock-levels).

## Low stock

Items at or below their minimum stock. Also on the Dashboard.

## Stock movements

The ledger for a date range, filterable by **item** and **type** (purchase, sale, production, waste and so on), with the **balance** after each movement. Use it to trace why a number moved. See [How to correct a count or record waste](https://jogan.cloud/help/stock-adjustments-and-waste).

## Expired / Expiring

**Expired batches** still in stock, and batches **expiring within 30 days** with days left. See [How to write off expired stock](https://jogan.cloud/help/write-off-expired-stock).

## Reports are only as good as the recording

- Sales recorded outside Jogan do not exist here.
- A purchase logged without a unit cost keeps the old average and flatters profit.
- Recipe quantities in the wrong unit make consumption, and therefore finished-goods cost, wrong.
