Division Reporting

The Reporting settings enable each division within a company to set its own default report formats for reports generated in each module. If a report format other than the default provided by BuilderMT is chosen, its name will display in bold font to indicate it is changed. Note that there are additional reports available in Purchasing and Scheduling that are not listed here; this is due to the fact that these additional reports cannot have their default format changed.

 

There are three options:

  1. Use an existing report format provided already in the software, (i.e., already appear in the drop-down lists in the Setup > Divisions > Reporting screens).

  2. Use an existing report and customize it, save it under a different name, then select that report from the appropriate drop-down list in the Setup > Divisions > Reporting screens.

  3. Create a completely new custom report via the Report Explorer. See Working with the Report Explorer and Designing Reports in Crystal Reports or Designing Reports in Report Builder for more information on customizing reports. As soon as a custom report is selected as the default, the custom report will replace the standard report every time the report is automatically printed in that division. The custom report will also replace the standard report if the report is selected to print manually.

 

To set the default report formats for a division:

  1. From the Setup menu, select Divisions.
    Or, click on the  Divisions icon within the Setup toolbar.

  2. Verify the division currently selected in the Division field is the correct division for which the default report formats will be defined. If necessary, select a different division from the Division drop-down menu.

  3. Click the Reporting icon within the vertical list of icons on the left.


     

The first tab shows the default report formats for the Purchasing module.

  1. To change a report default format, under Report Name on the right side of the screen, click on the report name to change.

  2. When finished with setting the Purchasing module report default formats, click on the Sales Pricing tab at the bottom of the screen. Repeat step 4 to set those report default formats. Do the same with the Scheduling module reports from the Scheduling tab.

  3. Click on Save to save any changes.

  4. Continue with sales pricing division set up as necessary, or click the Close button to exit the screen.
