View, print, or export global receiving reports

You can create receiving reports that contain information from all or various purchase orders. You can then view or print the reports, or export the reports and save them in another file format. For example, you can create a purchase order summary, or a receiving list.

To create receiving reports, do the following:

  1. Click the Maintenance ribbon tab.
  2. On the menu, select Purchase Orders > Receiving Reports.
  3. To only include particular purchase orders in the reports, in the Purchase Order Report Filters dialog box, select a filter type in the Type list, and click Select.
  4. In the Filter dialog box, do one of the following depending on the filter type:
    • Click the arrow buttons to move the purchase order properties that you want to include in the report to the Included list.
    • Type the maximum and minimum values for the purchase orders that you want to include in the report.
  5. Click OK.

    To further limit the properties of purchase orders that are included in reports, repeat steps 3 to 5 for all necessary filter types.

  6. To save commonly used filters, do the following:
    1. Click Filter Types in the lower-left corner.
    2. Click New.
    3. Type a description for the filter type.
    4. Create the filter settings.

      For more information, see steps 3 to 5.

    5. Click Add.
    6. To close the dialog box, click the Close button (X) in the upper-right corner.

      The newly created filter type is selected in the Filter Types list.

    7. To apply the filter type, click Set.

    Note that if you save a filter type in the Purchase Order Report Filters dialog box, the saved filter type will also be available as a filter in the PO # dialog box for all purchase orders.

  7. Click Make Report.
  8. In the Report Selection dialog box, select the report that you want to view, print, or export.

    Note that all available receiving reports are not displayed by default. You can customize the reports that are displayed in the Report Selection dialog box by clicking Edit Report Types.
