Some of the staff are currently in a debate about how to analyze sales daily. The Clerks Nation is definitely growing at an enormous rate but we want to know and track our growth. So, we are trying to figure out if an order is placed and the buyer purchases a quantity of three from the same seller, then does that count as three orders or just one.
During the debate I wanted to gather more information from another market that is all about sales so I called one of our local car dealerships. I asked to speak to the sales manager and they connected me to "Allan". I asked Allan if he had a minute and being the good car salesman he is replied "of course". I came right out and asked him "if I come down there and buy two cars from the same salesman, is that considered one sale or two sales when you do your end of year stats?" He told me that it was considered two sales because they had to negotiate two different payments, create two loans, and create two credit reports. At this time I think he thought I was in the market for not just one car but two and he asked me why I was asking. I explained to him the predicament we were in and he completely lost interest, just like a good car salesman would lol.
Although I appreciate Allan's attempt at assisting us, our question still remains. We would love to get input from the Clerks Nation!

I looked up the definitions.
Order - request (something) to be made, supplied, or served.
Sale - the exchange of a commodity for money; the action of selling something.
Not sure if that helps greatly but based on that, I take multiple quantities to mean multiple orders yet it would still be 1 sale/transaction. For example, if you order 5 qty of something, you need 5 orders.
If you took away the ability to order multiple quantities, that 5 quantity order would instead result in 5 separate orders.

I'd say it's 2 sales but should count as 1 feedback. (if the buyer leaves one.)
I personally can't see any difference in a customer buying 1 service per day for a week or only 1 service the first day of the week (quantity: 7) and nothing more for the rest of the week.

what if someone order 20 quantities, will it be shown as 20 different orders according to Karoshio ? I think hitmeasap is right. Are you sure you want to delete this post?
