Sales Types are used to capture your sales data. Once you have set up your items and customer groups, you are ready to enter historical and forecast sales data. These sales numbers will be entered at the Item and Customer Group level, against Sale Types.

Within Claret's Sell functionality, the key transactional data is . This is one table that stores historical sales, forecasted sales, open sales orders, etc. We differentiate these types of data with... well, Sale Types.

A Sale Type is a very simple data structure that unlocks a lot of power and flexibility in how you store and build your sales data. When you initially build out Claret, you'll want to start out with the Sale Types. Start with "History", "Forecast", "Long Term Plan" and maybe "Budget". You can create and name them how you'd like, but as you get into the different modules in Claret's Sell, starting with a simple set of Sale Types will help you and your team understand how Sale Types drive your planning. After you're comfortable with Claret, you can start to add more Sale Types and use them to further enhance your planning processes.

Within Claret, there is a lot of flexibility in how many sets of sales numbers you wish to manage. The modules of Claret you are using will influence the sales data you bring into Claret, and which Sales Types you will need to create.

The following is a recommended set of Sale Types as a starting point.

Setting up a Sales Type

Navigate to the Sale Types page

  1. Go to the navigation sidebar.

  2. Click on "Settings" menu item.

  3. Click on "Master Data" menu item.

  4. Click on "Sale Types".

Add a Sale Type

  1. Go to the "Options" button (the ellipses) in the top-right of the page and click on it.

  2. Click on "Add Sale Type".

  3. In the tray that shows on the right side of the page, type in the "Name" field the name you want to give the Sale Type.

  4. Then choose the "Category Type".

  5. Click on the "Save" button.

"Category Type" is used to let various modules in Claret know what category the Sale Type is in. For instance, the "historical" category type is treated a little differently in the app than say the "forecast" or "transactional". With a "historical" category type you won't be able to edit the sales data while in the Sales Collaboration tool, as an example.

Deleting a Sale Type

Because the Sale Type is a foundational piece of data, if you delete one, any sales data related to the Sale Type will also be removed.

  1. Click on a Sale Type row.

  2. A tray will show up on the right side of the page.

  3. Click on the "Delete Sale Type" button.

  4. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion.

  5. To remove the Sale Type, type the word "DELETE" into the input box and click the "Delete" button.
