The Auction Summary button gives you a picture of what happened at your auction. These reports can be run at any time allowing you to monitor the progress of your auction. Hit the printer icon at the upper right corner. The reports most commonly used in the summary screen will be outlined below.
1. To see an Auction Summary:
| • | Go to the Auction drop-down menu at the top of Auction Flex and select Auction Summary. |
| • | Choose the appropriate auction and view/print your auction summary. |
2. To see an Invoice Summary:
| • | Click on the Invoice drop-down menu at the top of Auction Flex and select Invoice Summary Reports. |
| • | Choose the appropriate auction and/or date selection from the drop-down menu or manually specify the dates yourself. |
3. To see a Transactions Report:
| • | Click on the Invoice drop-down menu at the top of Auction Flex and select Transactions Reports. |
| • | Choose the appropriate auction and/or date selection from the drop-down menu or manually specify the dates yourself. |
4. To see a Projection Report - a projection report shows your projected profits based on invoices. They don't preclude you having to enter invoice receipts or pay your consignors (like a transactions report).
| • | Open Auction Maintenance and click on the Projection tab. Generally, you run the projection report for All dates; however, you can specify a date range that you want to view the projection for. |
| • | Keep in mind that Projection reports can also be run independent of auctions by going to the Invoice drop down menu at the top of Auction Flex and click on the Projection Reports menu selection. Projection reports are also available from Consignor Maintenance and Vendor Maintenance. |
Using the Auction Summary Reports to check on Auction Totals, Outstanding Invoices, and Consignor Summaries
| • | Report # 1 will print out the same information as displayed in the Auction Summary. View how many lots were sold, not sold, or bought back, invoice totals and outstanding invoice amounts. |
| • | Report # 12 will print out all outstanding invoices for that auction. This report will print in list form with the outstanding bidders invoice totals and contact information. |
| • | report # 21 will print a column-based back office report listing the consignors for that auction, how many lots were sold, expense totals, and balances due to consignor. This report allows you to quickly look at your seller totals and confirm that expenses were applied, payments made, and commissions set. If you need to make any changes to expenses or commissions, follow the steps as outlined in the Change Commission After an Auction & Add Expenses to Auction sections of the help file. |
