Receiving Report

< Previous section  |  Table of Contents  |  Index  |  Next section >

This report lists information about items received on purchase orders. To get a receiving report, use Purchase Orders | Reports | Receiving. This window contains the following:

Grouping and Sorting section: Options controlling how the report is organized.

Group by list: These options determine how the report is broken into sections. For example, if you select Vendor, the report will have a separate section for each vendor.

Sort by list: These options determine how entries are sorted within each section. For example, if you select Unit Cost, information will be sorted by unit cost within each larger section.

Sort Direction: Determines whether sorting will go from lowest to highest (Ascending) or highest to lowest (Descending).

Filtering section: Options controlling what information will be included in the report. For example, you can obtain a report that only lists receipts from a particular vendor or set of vendors.

Advanced section: Miscellaneous options.

Suppress Costs: Omits any money information that might otherwise be displayed in the report.

Suppress Active Filter restrictions: If this checkbox is blank, the Active filter will automatically be applied when preparing the report; this means that information from old purchase orders will not be included in the report. If this checkbox is checkmarked, the Active filter is ignored; MainBoss uses information from all purchase orders, no matter how old.

For more about the active filter, see The Active Filter.

Title: The title to be printed at the beginning of the report.

Font Size: The font size to be used for all standard characters in the print-out (i.e. anything that isn't a heading).

Main Font: The font that will be used for most of the characters in the report. This should be a font that is supported by both your Windows system and your printer.

Fixed-width Font: The font that will be used for information that is printed with fixed-width characters (mostly unit specifications). This should be a font that is supported by both your Windows system and your printer.

Preview section: Displays a visual preview of the report. If you click the Preview button, you automatically go to this section.

The Preview section contains buttons for looking through the report preview and for actually printing the information. For more on using the Preview section, see Report Controls.

Preview: Clicking this button generates a preview of the report, displayed in the Preview section of the window.

Refresh: Updates the report to reflect any recent changes in the database.

Export Data: Exports the report's data in XML format.
