Exploris Wish #6035 - better Multi-store sales by Line Code reports

In J-Con we had to work to get our multiple stores into one simple easy to read Sales By Line Code report -- see the first image.  But - in EXPLORIS we would assume the data would be better ...damm word ASSUME again ...  how can we get :
- more than the current year for sales by line code - how many years can we have ?  Chartable ?
-how can we get MULTI-STORE reports for an option --so all data goes on ONE LINE per line code - and the report reads to the right --for as many stores as you have


Help ?  Note written to Normand & Dane today.

EXPLORIS TRIVIA QUESTION #1 - set up a NET PRICED Item



We have asked CARQUEST if they would have the creativity to post regular ( weekly  ? ) questions on the CARQUEST-Link to help us jobbers learn Exploris better -- that request kind of went ignored ( surprised - I think not )

So - as I come across some titbits of wisdom - will post.   Example -- when would you use a NET PRICED flag.   Image #1 is the NET box in the inventory - you can mark part by part this as YES ..when you do -- and ( see image #2 ) when you have the NT column marked Y in price plans --then you can STOP any further price  discounts at point of sale.   Some examples might be an item with very low margin to begin with ( think anti-freeze ).   Not sure if or where we use it in our 3 stores - but at least we know now.
