Job Profitability Report - 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 60 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.

Print Report Settings

Select this check box to print the options, sort criteria, and selection criteria for the selected report setting. This information prints on a separate cover page when the report is printed. Clear this check box if you do not want to print the report settings.

Three Hole Punch

Select this check box to print the report with a larger margin. This allows enough space for you to three-hole punch the report. Clear this check box if you do not want a larger margin for this purpose.

Number of Copies

Select the number of copies to print.

Collated

Select this check box to print each copy of the report or form in proper binding order when printing multiple copies. Clear this check box if you do not want to collate the report or form. This check box is available only if the value selected in the Number of Copies field is greater than 1.

Sort Report By

Select an option for sorting the report.

Job Statuses to Print

Select the All Statuses check box to print all job statuses, or select up to five of the job status code check boxes to print the report for a specific group of job statuses. For example, to print only open status jobs, select the Open check box. To print both bid and open status jobs, select the Bid and Open check boxes.

Fiscal Year

Select a fiscal year to determine which information is included in the report. The default selection is the current fiscal year defined in Job Cost Options, but it can be changed.

Accounting Period

Select an accounting period to determine which information is included in the report. The end of the period will be the cut-off date for period-to-date, year-to-date, and job-to-date calculations. The default selection is the current period defined in Job Cost Options, but it can be changed.

% Cost of Estimate No Less Than

Type the minimum percentage of cost over estimate to print only jobs within a specific percentage range.

Example

To include only jobs with 30 percent cost over estimate or higher, type 30.

% Cost of Estimate No More Than

Type the maximum percentage of cost over estimate to print only jobs within a specific percentage range.

Example

To include only jobs with cost over estimate not to exceed 50 percent, type 50.

Projected Profit % No Less Than

Type the minimum profit percentage to be used to print only jobs within a specific percentage range of projected profit.

Example

To include only jobs with a projected profit of at least 30 percent, type 30.

Projected Profit % No More Than

Type the maximum profit percentage to be used to print only jobs within a specific percentage range of projected profit.

Example

To include only jobs with a projected profit not to exceed 50 percent, enter 50.

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.

Note If Country Code is an option in the Select field, and your source documents have no value in the Country Code field, the default Country Code entered in Company Maintenance is used as selection criteria for those documents.

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.
