    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/708494"&gt;@cascott&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;! Welcome to the Square Community! We are so happy you're here!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have listed some different ways to possibly achieve this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Set Up Categories for Each Vendor:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Go to items &amp;gt; categories&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Create new.category for each vendor&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Name them clearly (Vendor-Jane Doe; Vendor-JD)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Run the category sales report&amp;nbsp;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Filter by date&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Select "Categories"&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Export to CSV/Excel&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Create Custom Attribute for Vendors:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Item &amp;gt; item options&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Custom Attributes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Add "Vendor Name" or "Vendor ID"&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Assign to all items&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Generate custom report&amp;nbsp;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Export items report&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Filter by custom attributes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Sort by vendor information&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;DIV class="text-textStandard text-sm"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Best Practices for Vendor Management&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV class="text-textStandard text-sm"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Item Naming Convention:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Format: {Vendor-ID] - [item name] Example "V1-Handmade Scarf" or "JANE-Pottery"&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Color Coding System:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Use Categories with consistent naming&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Add vendor color in item notes&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Include in SKU system&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI style="list-style-type: none;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope this helps!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <link>https://community.squareup.com/t5/Orders-Menu-Items-Catalog/custom-sales-report/m-p/782507#M901</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I need to add a sort feature to&amp;nbsp; my monthly sales report to separate my vendors by name, assigned color, or assigned number all of which I have entered to each of their items listed in my inventory.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are&amp;nbsp; a small gift shop consisting of handmade gift items. At this time I have 4 separate vendors&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and need to&amp;nbsp;pay them at the end of the month for their sales.&amp;nbsp; I do not charge a commission only charge a monthly space rent. And I collect and pay all sales tax.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
