Hi,

this is quite a serious thing tbh.

90% our products have deposits charges (keg/can). The reporting does not filter these out, which increasingly is influencing the numbers in our reporting, making them untrustworthy and not matching with our accouncy software.

Example:  
Customer A buys 4 kegs of beer X: 400 euro in beer and 120 euros in deposits  
Customer B buys 10 cases of beer X: 400 euro in beer with 36 euros in deposits.  
Both generate 50% of actual revenue.

Breww will say Customer B has a revenue of 436 which is 45% of the total revenue and Customer A has 520 euro of revenue equaling 55% of the total revenue. This creates a very skewed image of our sales and customers.

Deposits should be treated a bit like VAT - it is money that is not earned and in the case of some deposits actually needs to be paid to a third party.

Please find a way to remove the deposits from the revenue!

Thanks for bringing this up, Gijs.

I believe this is a duplicate of [Add deposits after value in sales orders / exclude them from revenue](https://community.breww.com/t/add-deposits-after-value-in-sales-orders-exclude-them-from-revenue/3930). If this isn’t the case, please let me know. Cheers.

Hi Luke,

It is partly but I think it did not really communicate the impact/gravity of this situation - as it got mostly ignored/ side-tracked by member comments

I posted this one because of the increasing severity of the impact as the numbers coming from breww reports are not reliable for us at the moment - the revenue Breww reports is simply not correct and I notice myself constantly reverting back to my accountancy program to get a sense what are actual revenue is… which fundamentally undermines the capabilities of Breww imo.
