Hi everyone,

Im trying to calculate the average monthly sales for the last 12 months for a customer / customers when generated by Netsuite.

Below is my criteria

Date – is within 365 days ago

Billing Status : is closed

Main Line : is true

Type : is Invoice

Results

Amount (Net of Tax) (summary type = average)

It appears to perform a calculation

I’m leveraging this via a suitelet, which injects the customers Internal ID which is doing its thing correctly. – My question is, is this the correct structure to calculate the average monthly sales for a customer

Any help greatly appreciated as this is an area that is completely foreign to me

thanks in advance

No, this won’t work – it’s not going to give you a monthly average, just the average value of invoices for the given customer.

To get monthly averages try something like:

Code:
Field – Formula (Currency)
Summary Type – SUM
Formula – {amount} / 12
Also keep in mind when going with this approach –

1) This won’t take Cash Sales or Credits into account

2) The results will only be correct for customers that have been with you for at least 12 months.

To test your search I would suggest choosing a (few) smaller customer(s) and manually calculating your expected results to make sure they match.
