The Consolidated Product Mix report compiles performance information for individual sale items for a selected period of time.
Report Usage
This report provides detailed information about individual sale items. It can help a user recognize which items are selling well and which items are performing poorly. The report also shows which items have a large number of comps and promos, which can be a predictor of item quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does my Consolidated Product Mix not match my POS sales report?
A: There are many different POS systems and each system reports information differently. It is possible that some minor variations may occur.
Q: Why is my Consolidated Product Mix not populating?
A: The number one reason the Consolidated Product Mix is not populating is that the location did not poll on the date(s) for which you are running the report. Another possibility is that your Master Sale Departments are not set up yet.
Q: When the Consolidated Pmix is run for "all items," will voided items be included in item counts?
A: The answer will largely depend on the POS you are using. In Aloha, you can set a void to affect inventory. Any void with this setting leaves the item sale recorded in the Aloha data ($0 price), and RADAR will preserve this. In HSI, the item sale record on voided items will be retained when a comp or promo was applied, since the alternative would throw things out of balance. (HSI retains that comp amount; it doesn't throw it away just because the item was voided.) For most POS's, though, voided items are not included.
