# Sales

> What went out the door, and what it actually earned.

**Transactions → Sales** (headed **Sales POS Imports & Transactions**) has two
tabs: **Transaction Ledger** and **Batch Import Run History**.

The ledger shows Sold At, Product Name, Qty Sold, Unit Price, **Total Revenue**,
**COGS at Sale** and **Gross Profit**.

## Why cost is captured at the moment of sale

Each sales line records what that item cost **when it sold**, not what it costs
today. Without that, a later delivery at a new price would quietly rewrite last
month's margin and your history would drift.

It is also what makes [Analytics](https://sims-bae272dd.mintlify.site/reports/analytics.md) trustworthy: profit is
computed from the cost you actually had, not a current estimate.

## Getting sales in

> [card] [Automatically](https://sims-bae272dd.mintlify.site/agent/what-it-is.md)
>
> The Inventory Agent sends the register's sales overnight. This is the
> intended setup.

> [card] [Import a file](https://sims-bae272dd.mintlify.site/sales/imports.md)
>
> A CSV or POS export.

> [card] [Enter them](https://sims-bae272dd.mintlify.site/sales/imports.md#enter-sales-by-hand)
>
> **Add Manual Sales**, for a gap or a one-off.

Selling reduces stock, so sales that never arrive leave your on-hand figures
too high — and everything that depends on them wrong.
