Invoice Analysis report

Use this report to review your invoices. The Invoices Analysis report helps you analyze your sales from the perspective of revenue line items in the invoices. You can group line items across invoices and then perform your analysis. For example, this report can show you how much of a certain type of product our customers ordered from you over a specific period of time and which customers ordered that specific product.

For information on terms that may differ in your location, see Terminology across locales.

Who typically needs this report?

Accountants and controllers who want to see how revenue is being generated by line item.

Slide-in functionality is disabled when you restrict subledger transactions at the top level.

Customize and run

If you want to see every result for a particular category, do not make selections from any of the data entry boxes. You can run this report without entering any search information.  If you do that, however, the report may take a long time to run and may return too many results to be useful.

Before running the report, you can select the time period and types of items to include as well as specify how you want the report to appear.

To customize and run a report:

  1. Select the reporting period from the dropdown menu, or enter the start and end dates you want the report to cover. If you do not specify a reporting period, the system generates a report for the current month to date.

    • You can specify either the reporting period or the start and end dates, but not both.
  2. Set the filters to get the specific data you want.

    • Filters enable you to include or exclude specific types of data in the report, such as vendor or vendor type. As a general rule, to get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.
  3. Format the report.

    • Format options will vary from report to report. Generally, you can set the layout of the report and arrange how to group and display the data contained in the report.
  4. Type a title, subtitle, and footer text for your report.
  5. To view, process, memorize, export, or customize the report or add it to the dashboard, select one of the following options:

    • View: View the report now, in your browser.
    • Print: Display the report now, in printable PDF format.
    • Process & store: Generate the report and store it for later access. Reports can be either stored in the My Stored Reports list or delivered to a cloud storage location, such as Dropbox. Learn more about processing and storing reports.
    • Add to dashboard: Add the report to your dashboard.
    • Memorize: Memorize (that is, save) the report so that later you can refer back to it or modify and re-run it.

      You can schedule memorized reports to run on a recurring basis. Intacct can automatically email the reports or deliver them to a cloud storage location.

    • Export: Export the report to a separate file that you can then distribute or save to your local drive. File formats to which you can export the report data vary among reports.
    • Customize: After you run the report, return to the main report page and refine the report further.
    • Email: After you run the report, email to others.

    Some options are only available if you access the report from the Reports center.

You can use one of the pre-defined reporting periods available from the Reporting Period and As of Date boxes, or create your own reporting period using the Start Date and End Date boxes.

Report filters

Use the filters to focus the results of your report. In effect, filters enable you to isolate and assemble just the data you want. You can set any combination of filters.
