How to Run a Detail Report of All Items Sold in QuickBooks Point of Sale
Published 03/29/2012 | 
Hi Ruth. I am trying to run a report in QuickBooks POS that will show me in detail all items that have been sold during a specified time. What I am seeing so far is I have to look at each receipt to see what the charge was. Is there a quick report that can show me all in one place without looking at each receipt?
The Item Summary report (Reports > Sales) should give you what you’re looking for. You can modify the report so it totals by item instead of department if you like by selecting the Modify button, then Add or Remove Columns and selecting Item Name in the Sort By drop-down.

Hi Ruth! Ruth, I just stumbled across your site and I am so happy cause I am new to Quickbooks. I just purchased the 2013 version. Ruth my question is as follows: keep in mind, I will be working at my original store and this question pertains to my second store, where I have other employees. The question is – If I have 3 pieces of X how will I be able to know that my employee didn’t manually change the amount of products I have. Ex. if I have 3 pieces of X, how would I know that my employee didn’t change it to a “2″?
Hi Eddie,
Changing the on-hand quantity creates an inventory adjustment, which will show up in the Quantity Adjustment History (in the Inventory menu).
If you’re worried about this, you might want to play around with your employees’ security settings (Employees > Security) to restrict their access to the Inventory features. The default Associate role can’t edit cost, price or quantity.
