Printing the Inventory Usage Report (Standard)

Note: A column called L-Purch prints on this report. This column is reserved for future use.

From the Master Menu, double-click . The Reports Menu opens.
From the Reports Menu, double-click . The text-based (RR) Inventory Reports screen opens.
In the (RR) Inventory Reports screen, select the [U] Usage type action code.
Use the Sales field to specify the items to print based on sales information.
- Press Tab to include all items.
- Type Y to include only those items that have sold this month or in the last three months.
- Type N to include only those items that have not sold this month or in the last three months.
Use the Location field to limit the report by location. Press Tab to include all locations, or enter one location to limit the report to a specific location. Enter 00 in this field to include all locations with separate subtotals for each.
Use the Sorts fields to specify the order in which information prints. Press Enter to sort first by item number and then by company and go to Step 8. Otherwise, enter the appropriate sort codes in the Sort 1, 2, and 3 fields. You can enter up to three sorts.
For the first two sorts you select, the cursor moves to the corresponding Break Page field. This field lets you begin a new page each time there is a change in the corresponding sort group. Enter the appropriate code from the following list in the corresponding Break Page field:
- N: No Page Break
- Y: Each New Group Prints on a New Page
- D: Blank Line Between Sorts With No Page Break
- S: Print Subtotals With No Page Break

Note: If you choose to break the page, a heading and subtotal print for each sort group.

Next, set limits. You can limit a report using any combination of limits.
- Press Enter to skip setting limits, and go to Step 9. There are no default limits for this report. If you do not specify limits, the report includes information for every item in the database.
- Type Y to limit the report to item records that belong to a particular group.
- Type N to limit the report to item records that do not belong to a particular group.
- Type O to omit items that not belong to a particular group.
- Enter the beginning of the range in the first field and the end of the range in the To field to limit by a range of items in a particular group.

Note: These limits are often used in combination. For example, to limit a report to items that do not have on-hand quantities, but omit those items that are on-order, specify N in the On Hand field and O in the On Order field.

Enter the printer with which to print in the Printer field.
Enter the number of copies to print in the Copies field.
Enter the number of records to print in the Records To Print field. For example, if you enter 50, information for the first 50 items prints. The sorts and limits determine which 50 records print.
Press Tab in the Totals Only field. The report prints according to the sorts and limits you set.

Note: You must use wide paper or set your printer for compressed print (17 characters per inch) to print this report. To set your printer for compressed print, change the print setting manually. Refer to your printer manual for instructions.
