Customer Master – Performance Tab

The Performance tab provides a monthly breakdown of the customer’s account activity. It helps you assess customer engagement, buying patterns, payment behaviour, and profitability over time.

This view is particularly useful for account and layby customers, where credit and journal entries are common and payment tracking is essential.

Bar Chart – Sales by Month

The Sales by Month ($) chart visualises customer spending over time.

Each bar represents the total sales value for a month.

This visual trend helps quickly identify:

Peaks and lulls in buying activity

Seasonal patterns

Drop-off in engagement

How It’s Used

Review monthly trends when doing account reviews or credit limit evaluations

Identify inconsistent payments or periods of high outstanding balances

Spot profitable vs. unprofitable months using the GP% column

Cross-reference low payments or high journals to evaluate credit risk

Support your sales and marketing decisions by targeting months of inactivity

Tips

Use this data when preparing range reviews or customer profitability reports

Periods with high movement but low payment may indicate risk or dispute

Months with 0.00 sales could indicate inactivity, credit hold, or account dormancy
