SECTION
2.4.3.5 – EXPECTED DELIVERIES
USAGE: To print a list of Expected Deliveries.
DISCUSSION: This report scans the Inventory orders file and
picks out a selected group of orders that are expected for delivery. This
report is useful for the Receiving Officer. The report will always print in
Creditor Code order.
When you start the program, the following questions
will appear:
USE LONG FORMAT REPORT If you are using wide stationery, reply Y, otherwise reply N. This question will only be
displayed if the relevant option is set to A, see SECTION 7.1.2.
The following question asks you to enter both a
lower and upper limit. The upper limit must not be less than the lower limit.
The default answers define the extreme limits of the field. You do not have to
change all of these limits. Only change the ones you wish to, and tab past the
others.
CREDITOR CODE RANGE This is the Creditor’s code.
INVENTORY CODE RANGE This is allows you to print only orders for a range of
Inventory codes. This field will not limit General Ledger or Job lines.
EXPECTED DATE RANGE This allows you to limit the report to a range of Expected Dates, eg
to list only back-orders, enter 01/01/0001 for the lower limit and
yesterday’s date for the upper limit.
ORDER DATE RANGE This allows you to limit the report to a range of date’s
ordered. This can be used to find a lost order or to organise deliveries in
batches.
OTHER KEY RANGE This may appear as a different literal depending on how
you have defined the field in SYSTEM
PARAMETERS.
REFERENCE RANGE This reference number, ie Order number.
To start the report, press <Enter> through each field or simply press <F10>.
The report will scan the Orders file and extract all
records that fit within your chosen parameters. The report itself will detail
the Creditor code and Inventory Code. Then it will detail the Order Numbers
(Our ref and Their Ref), the expected date and the expected quantity.
