Overview
The Sales Report page (open /reports/sales-report on your Luminous URL; this page is no longer linked from the main navigation) offers two export formats: Export to CSV and Export to PDF. Both buttons are in the top-right corner of the page, both apply your currently active filters and date range, and both are generated in the background — the finished file is emailed to your account's email address rather than downloaded instantly.
How each format is structured
Export to CSV
The CSV produces a flat, spreadsheet-friendly file with one row per line item. Every order's lines are listed individually, making it easy to sort, filter, pivot, or import the data into Excel, Google Sheets, or a BI tool.
Each row contains:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| PO Source | Whether the order originated in Luminous or from a third-party channel |
| Order # | The order number |
| Date | The order date |
| SKU | The product's internal SKU |
| Product Name | The product name |
| Quantity | Units sold on that line |
| Price | Unit price |
| Line Total | Quantity × price for that line |
| Order Total | The overall order total (repeated on each line of the same order) |
Export to PDF
The PDF produces a print-ready, grouped document where each order occupies its own row and the order's line items appear in a nested table within that row.
Each order block shows:
- PO Source, Order #, and Date in the left column
- A nested line-item table (columns: SKU, Product Name, Quantity, Price, Line Total) in the centre column
- The Order Total in the right column
Orders with many line items are split across multiple rows (up to 15 items per block) to keep the layout readable. The file is formatted as a landscape document.
Which format should I choose?
| Goal | Best format |
|---|---|
| Analyse, sort, or filter data in a spreadsheet | CSV |
| Share a summary with your team or a business partner | |
| Import data into another system | CSV |
| Print a clean, human-readable report |
Delivery
After clicking either button, Luminous shows a confirmation message and begins generating the file in the background. When the export is ready, it is attached to an email sent to your account's email address. For large date ranges this may take a few minutes.
Tip: Make sure your date range and any saved filter templates are configured before you click Export — both formats capture the filters that were active at the moment you clicked.
