Inventory Sales Analysis - Fields

Report Setting

Enter a report setting, or click the Lookup button to list all report settings. The Standard report setting provides a set of default options, sort criteria, and selection criteria for each report.

Description

This field displays the description for the selected report setting. Enter a description that describes the output of the report. The description can be up to 40 characters.

Type

This field displays the type of access assigned to the report setting. A Public report setting allows access to all users. This includes the ability to access, modify, save, print, and delete the report setting; however, the Standard report setting cannot be deleted. This field can only be viewed.

Default Report

Select this check box to set the current report setting as the default report setting. The default report setting is the first report setting displayed when the report is accessed. Clear this check box if you do not want this report setting to be the default.

When a default report setting is not selected, the Report Setting field displays the Standard report setting.

If Fiscal Periods is selected in the Base Inventory Periods On field in Inventory Management Options, this field displays all fiscal years defined in the General Ledger module, and the report prints by posting date.

If Calendar Months is selected in the Base Inventory Periods On field, this field displays calendar years, and the report prints by invoice date.

Note The selection in this field may affect the data in the report whenever the invoice date for an invoice occurs in a different period or month than the posting date. For more information, see Update FAQs.

Accounting Period / Calendar Month

Select the period or month to print the report for.

If Fiscal Periods is selected in the Base Inventory Periods On field in Inventory Management Options, this field displays all fiscal periods and period-end dates defined in the General Ledger module, and the report prints by posting date. The number of accounting periods displayed depends on the number of periods entered in the Number of Accounting Periods field in Fiscal Year Maintenance.

If Calendar Months is selected in the Base Inventory Periods On field, this field displays calendar months and month-end dates, and the report prints by invoice date.

Note The selection in this field may affect the data in the report whenever the invoice date for an invoice occurs in a different period or month than the posting date. For more information, see Update FAQs.

Operand

Select an operand to limit your selection to a particular value or range of values. When selecting a value using the Lookup button or entering a value directly into the Value field (and moving out of the field), the operand automatically changes to Equal to. Likewise, when selecting a value using the Lookup button for a range or entering values directly into both Value fields, the operand automatically changes to Range.

The following operands are available:

Operand

Operand Function

All Selects all information for the Select Field.

Begins with Selects only the information for the Select Field that begins with the value entered in the Value field.

Ends with Selects only the information for the Select Field that ends with the value entered in the Value field.

Contains Selects only the information for the Select Field that contains the value entered in the Value field.

Less than Selects only the information for the Select Field that is less than, but not equal to, the value entered in the Value field.

Greater than Selects only the information for the Select Field that is greater than or equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Range

When Range is selected, two Value fields are used. Information is selected that is greater than or equal to the first value entered and less than or equal to the second value entered in the Value fields.

Note Entries in the "From" Value field may change to the entry made in the "To" Value field, if the "From" Value contains a lowercase letter and the "To" Value contains an uppercase letter. This occurs because lowercase letters are greater than uppercase letters. For example, if 01a is entered in the "From" Value field and 01C is entered in the "To" Value field, the "From" Value field changes to 01C.

Equal to

Selects only the information for the Select Field that is equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Not Equal to

Selects only the information for the Select Field that is not equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Additional operands are available for date Select fields. The system date is used to calculate the date ranges. When one of the date operands is selected, the Value fields automatically default to the appropriate dates.

You can use commas (,) to separate multiple values; however, if your selection values already contain commas, you must use alternate separators to separate them.

Note When alternate separators are used, the value list must end with the alternate separator character.

The alternate separators include the following:

~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = [ ] \ ; " / _ + { } | : < > ?

Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is 01-SAGE,WEST), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example, %01-SAGE,WEST%). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").

If your company uses commas in item codes, use an alternate separator to select one or multiple item codes.

Value

Enter a value based on the operand entered, or click the Lookup or Calendar button to select a value from the list. Multiple values can be entered by using a comma or alternate separators to separate values.

You can enter single or multiple values as follows:

Operand

Value

All Selects all information for the Select Field.

Begins with

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Ends with

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Contains

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Less than Only single values are allowed.

Greater than Only single values are allowed.

Range Both Value fields are used to define a range. Only single values are allowed at each Value field.

Equal to Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Not Equal to

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An AND condition is assumed.

Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is 01-SAGE,WEST), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example, %01-SAGE,WEST%). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").

Printer/Output

Select a printer or output method. The following output methods are available:

Select Deferred to save the report or listing to your hard drive for printing at a future time using Deferred Printing.

Select Export to export to a file type, such as PDF or Excel. The file can then be saved to your hard drive.

Select Data Only Export to export only the data portion of the report (excluding header information) to a file type, such as PDF or Excel. The file can then be saved to your hard drive or e-mailed.

Note This option is available only if the report or listing contains header information.

Select Office Merge to export data to a Microsoft Word or Excel template. For more information, see Office Template Manager.
