# Sales By Product Category Report

The Sales By Product Category Report in CW POS provides a summary of sales performance by product category. It typically includes the following columns:

* Store: The location where the products were sold.
* Parent Product Category: The higher-level product category that the product belongs to (if applicable).
* Product Category: The specific product category that the product belongs to.
* Sold QTY: The total quantity of the product sold in the given time period.
* Total Amount: The total sales amount generated by the product category in the given time period.

This report is useful for understanding the sales trends and performance of different product categories across stores, and can help identify areas of strength or areas for improvement.
