Sales Recurring report

The Sales Recurring report shows the recurring transactions in the Order Entry application.

Use this report to:

  • See recurring transactions for a specific customer or customer type
  • Analyze sales based on recurring transactions

You can sort the results by criteria such as due date, customer ID, customer name, and so on. This report covers document type, transaction frequency, transaction amount, next scheduled transaction date, and more.

Who typically needs this report?

  • Finance or accounts receivable staff who need to review billing transactions before invoicing customers. After reviewing this report, the finance or AR clerk identifies changes to be made, updates the transactions, and re-runs the report.
  • Many customers run this report at the end of the month (for example, four days or so before the end of the month), review it, and wait for the summary scheduler to run.

To access this report:

  • Go to Order Entry > All > Reports > Sales recurring.

View a monthly report

  1. On the report settings page, select View.

    The report displays all results for the default reporting period.

  2. To refine the report, select Customize.

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 might take a long time to run and might return too many results to be useful.

  1. 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.
  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 customer, item, UPC, value, or account. 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. Enter a title, subtitle, and footer text for your report.
  5. To view, process, memorize, or export the report select one of the following:

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.
