Printing Standard Inventory Reports

The Contract Report for Customers prints personalized contract reports that can be presented to customers. The default sorts for the Contract Report for Customers are first by customer account number, then by contract number, and finally by item number and company. There are page breaks for each customer and for each contract.

  1. In the (RR) Inventory Reports screen, select the [C] Catalog type code.

  2. Use the Right Hand Columns fields to add information to the report. You can add up to three columns to the right of the standard information on the report. The additional information you specify prints for each item on the report.

    To not add additional information, press Enter. Go to Step 3.

    To add information to the report, enter codes from the following list:

Note:  If you select the (%) Gross% option, two columns print on the Contract Report: the G/P% column and the Con% column. The G/P% column is the current gross profit based on the current cost in the Item Master tab. The Con% column shows the original gross profit percentage at the time the contract was created.

If you set the costs for items on contracts, you can also choose one other option when printing a contract report. This option (C=Contract Cost) is not displayed on the screen. To print the costs manually entered when the contract was created, specify C in the Right Hand Columns field.

  1. Use the Location field to limit the report by location. To include all locations, press Tab. To specify a location, enter it.

Note: To include all locations with separate subtotals for each, enter 00 in this field. This feature works only if you include one or more of the following in right-hand columns: on-order, on-hand, backordered, or allocated quantities.

  1. Use the Sorts fields to specify the order in which information prints. To sort first by item number and then by company, press Enter while the cursor is in the Sort 1 field. Go to Step 6.

    To specify sorts for your report, enter the appropriate sort codes in the Sort 1, 2, and 3 fields. (The sort codes are to the right of the Break Page fields.) For example, to specify vendor as the first sort, enter V in the Sort 1 field. You can specify up to three sorts. For more information, see Inventory Sorts and Limits.

  2. For the first two sorts you select, the cursor moves to the corresponding Break Page field. This field lets you begin a new page each time there is a change in the corresponding sort group. For example, if you specify vendor in the Sort 1 field and specify to break the page in the Break Page 1 field, each time the vendor changes, the information for the new vendor begins at the top of a new page. This field can also be used to leave a blank line between sorts or to print subtotals for the sort.

Note: If you choose to break the page, a heading and subtotal print for each sort group.

To specify a new page for each new group in the specified sort, subtotals for the sort group, or a blank line between each sort, enter the appropriate code from the following list in the corresponding Break Page field.

 

Code

Description

N

No page break for the particular sort

Y

Each new group within the sort prints on a new page and a heading an subtotal print for each new group

D

Place a blank line between the sorts with no page break

S

Print subtotals for the particular sort with no page break.

 
If you specify fewer than three sorts, press Enter.

  1. The cursor moves to the first limit field, the Avg Cost Gt Rep field. You can limit a report using any combination of limits. To be included in a report, however, an item must meet all the limits you set.

Note: There are no default limits for this report. If you do not specify limits, the report includes information for every item in the database.

You must limit contract reports by specifying a range of contracts to include in the report. If you do not want to set any other limits, tab to the Contract field and enter the first contract number to include on the report. Enter the last contract number to include in the To field, and press Enter.

For details on available limits and how to use them, see Inventory Sorts and Limits.

To limit the report to item records that belong to a particular group, type Y. To limit the report to item records that do not belong to a particular group, type N. To omit items that belong to a particular group, type O.

Note: These limits are often used in combination. For example, to limit a report to items that do not have on-hand quantities, but omit those items that are on-order, specify N in the On Hand field and O in the On Order field.

To limit by a range of items, enter the beginning of the range in the first field, and enter the end of the range in the To field.

  1. At the Requesting Items In Contract Not On File prompt, you can limit the report to items that are on a contract, but have been deleted from your inventory database. This lets you see which items are still on contracts, but no longer in your inventory database. You can then delete these items from contracts

    To limit the report to items that are on a contract, but have been deleted from your inventory database, type Y. Go to Step 8.

    To not limit to items that are on a contract, but have been deleted from your inventory database, type N. At the Enter Customer From prompt, enter the account number of the customer you are printing the report for in the From field and press Enter.

  2. Use the Printer field to specify the printer to use.

Note:  You must use wide paper or set your printer for compressed print (17 characters per inch) to print this report. To set your printer for compressed print, change the print setting manually. Refer to your printer manual for instructions.

  1. Use the Copies field to specify how many copies of the report to print.

  2. Use the Records To Print field to specify the number of records to print. For example, if you enter 50, information for the first 50 items prints. The sorts and limits determine which 50 records print.

  3. In the Totals Only field, press Tab.

  4. The report prints according to the sorts and limits you set.
