How to use report tools

Drilling down on information

When you click on the report, you'll see a screen similar to the one below.

To see the details of a record in the report, hit the plus sign.

This will expand the record to show more of its details.

To view more information associated with the record, hit the plus sign again.

More detailed information will then be shown.

Filtering

To view the filter screen, hit the blue bar on the left-hand side.

A list of filters will display:

• account
• item name
• transaction number
• transaction status
• currency
• ship date
• book
• division
• customer PO

For different reports, different filters may display. You can use all the filters in combination with each other to create the desired report. To select a filter value, click it in the list.

To select a range of filter values, drag over all the items you would like to select.

The filters that you are using get saved on the bottom left-hand side.
