Order Analysis report

The Order Analysis report shows information about your inventory, including which customers have ordered which items. Use this report to find out important status information, such as whether enough items are available to fill all orders, which items are most popular, shipment dates, and unit and extended price per item.

Who typically needs this report?

Finance staff who need to review orders before approving them (for example, in draft mode). This report shows which orders are pending.
Finance staff who need to analyze orders processed, volume, or pricing (for example, view item info). Finance staff can export data to Excel for pricing analysis. For example, if one order was for $100, and another was for $200, what's the average? Based on the number of orders per month, can a price increase be justified?

Customize and run

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

If you want to see every result for a particular category, don't make selections from any of the data entry fields. 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 can return too many results to be useful.

Select the reporting period from the dropdown list, or enter the start and end dates you want the report to cover. If you don't 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.
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 customer, item, UPC, value, or account. As a general rule, to get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.
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.
Enter a title, subtitle, and footer text for your report.
To view, process, memorize, or export the report, do one of the following:
- To view the report now, select View.
- To generate the report and store it for later access, select Process & Store.
  
  Reports can be either stored in My Stored Reports or delivered to a cloud storage location, such as Dropbox. Learn more about processing and storing reports.
- To memorize (that is, save) the report so that later you can refer back to it or modify and re-run it, select Memorize.
- To export the report to a separate file that you can then distribute or save to your local drive, select Export and then select Word, Excel, CSV, or Text.

You can use trial-and-error to get the precise results you want. Just fill in the desired fields, and select View to see the report. If the results aren't what you want, select Customize to return to the report setup page and refine the report further. Repeat this process until you're satisfied.

For complex financial reports that will be run regularly, save the report after you're done setting it up. The next time you're ready to run the report, you only have to change the As of date before running the report.

Time period

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

To set the time period:

In the Time period section, do one of the following:

Use the Reporting period dropdown list to select the reporting period. Either enter a date in the As of date field or use the calendar tool to select a date.
Enter a specific Start date, End date, or both. Alternatively, use the calendar tool to select the desired dates.

If you complete all the time period fields (that is, if you fill in the Reporting period, As of date, Start date, and End date fields), Intacct generates your report based on the start and end dates. It ignores the As of date.

The following table describes the fields in the Time period section.

Field	Description
Reporting period	These periods are relative to the As of date. All periods begin on the first day of the period, such as the first day of the month, quarter, or year that you select.
As of date	The date that Intacct will use as a baseline for the reporting period you select. Defaults to today's date.
Start date	Leave the Start date blank to include all information from the earliest date of your Intacct data up to and including the end date.
End date	Leave the End date blank to include all information from the start date up to today.
Prompt on run	Select this checkbox to force Intacct to wait for you (or anyone using this report) to enter a location, department, and/or time period before it will run the report.

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.

To set the filters to fine-tune your report results

Select Item ID or UPC code to select how to list the items in the report.
To filter the items that are displayed in the report, do one of the following:
- Use the From item and To Item dropdown lists or the From UPC and To UPC dropdown lists to select a range of items to display. Use the set of fields that correspond to what you chose to report on.
- Use the Operator and Values fields to select the items to display.
How to use the From and To fields
All From and To field pairs work the same way. Use them to get search results in as broad or as fine a range as you need, from everything in the system down to a single specific object.

To run this report for a single object:

From the From dropdown list, select the object you want.

From the To dropdown list, select the same object.

To run this report for a specific range of objects:

From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want at the beginning of the range.

From the To dropdown list, select the object that you want at the end of the range.

To run this report for all objects:

Leave both fields blank.

If you have a large number of objects or the report takes too long to process, use the From and To fields to run a series of smaller reports. For example, you can run five reports, one each for objects whose names begin with A-E, then F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z.

An object is a catch-all term that refers to any specific data item in the system. Customers, vendors, items, and accounts are all examples of objects.
Set the report to show results for a specific warehouse or range of warehouses.
Set the report to show results for a specific customer or range of customers.
Set the report to show results based on one of several pre-defined criteria. To do this:
1. Select the filter criterion from the Min and max values apply to dropdown:
  - Order price
  - No. days to ship date
  - Order number
2. Enter a Minimum value, a Maximum value, or both.
  
  For example, to report on all items that took between 30 and 60 days to ship to the buyer, set these 3 fields as follows:
  - Min and max values apply to: Select No. days to ship date.
  - Minimum value: Enter 30.
  - Maximum value: Enter 60.
Set the report to show results based on order status. To do this, select the Order state dropdown list and then select the order status you want. Choose from:
- Draft orders
- Posted open orders (this is the default setting)
- Closed orders
- All orders
For example, you can select Draft orders to gauge the accuracy of your forecast.
If you do not want the report to include back orders, select the Exclude back orders checkbox.
If you are a multi-currency company, you can filter transactions based on a specific currency. (This field is visible only in a multi-currency environment). From the Transaction currency dropdown list, select the currency you want the report to show. If you do not select a currency, the report includes transactions in your base currency.
