# Viewing reports

> Open your shop's reports, read the Sales Journal, and review revenue and gross profit on the Profit page.

Your reports open inside TireTutor. Each report is a page in the report area, with its own filters at the top.

Some shops show **Reports & Data** to every user. Others limit it to Owners and Admins. If you do not see **Reports & Data**, ask your shop's owner. To change the shop-wide setting, contact support.

If the page shows **Access Restricted**, your account does not have access. If the page shows **Upgrade Now** instead of a report, your shop has no report set up yet. Contact support.

## Open the reports

## Read the Sales Journal

Use **Sales Journal** to reconcile a day or a period. It shows what you collected, what you invoiced, and what you refunded.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Sales Journal">
    Select **Sales Journal**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the period">
    Set **Payment Date**. The default is today. Select the field to choose a different day or a range.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the totals">
    Read **Net Total Payments Collected**, **Net Invoices Completed** (including tax), and **Refunds Given**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find an invoice">
    Filter by **Invoice No** or **Customer Name** to narrow the table.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The **Sales Journal (Completed Invoices)** table lists one row per completed invoice. Its columns are **Invoice No**, **Sequence No**, **Payment Date**, **Customer Name**, **Net Total**, **Tax**, **Subtotal**, and **Payment Details**.

<Check>
  The totals and the table match the **Payment Date** you set. **No data** means you completed no invoices in that period.
</Check>

## Read the Profit page

Use **Profit** to see revenue and estimated gross profit for the year, quarter, and month to date. Each figure compares with the same period in the previous year, quarter, or month.

The page uses costs from purchase orders and invoices processed through TireTutor, or the manual entry in your inventory when a purchase order is missing. Without either, it overstates gross profit. It excludes payroll and updates every hour.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Profit">
    Select **Profit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the revenue tiles">
    Read **Total Revenue YTD**, **QTD**, and **MTD**. They exclude tax.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the comparisons">
    Read **Year Over Year Pacing**, **Quarter Over Quarter Pacing**, and **Month Over Month Pacing**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the gross profit tiles">
    Read **Total Gross Profit YTD**, **QTD**, and **MTD**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the labor assumptions">
    Under **Labor Controls**, set **Labor Cost** with the slider. Choose whether to **Include Labor in GP**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Narrow the weekly chart">
    Filter by **Order Number** or **Week of Invoice Date** to change the **Gross Profit Per Week** chart.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Narrow the invoice detail">
    Set **Invoice Date** to change the totals and the **Invoices** table below the chart.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The **Invoices** table shows one row per invoice. Each row has parts revenue, labor revenue, total revenue, last parts cost, labor hours, and the gross profit and margin for parts and for labor.

Treat this page as an operational view. Use your accounting statements for payroll, overhead, tax, and adjustments.
