This report lists inventory receipts over a specified period. The first step to printing a receiving report is to select Inventory —> Reports —> Receiving from the menu. MainBoss displays a window that contains the following:
- Date: Specifies the period that you want covered by the report.
- Inventory Item: Lets you restrict the report to a given range of inventory items.
- Vendor: Lets you restrict the report to items received from a given set of vendors.
- Grouping: The options in this area specify how the report should be organized.
- Vendor: If this option is selected, the report is broken into sections, with each section showing the items received from a specific vendor.
- Inventory Item: If this option is selected, the report is broken into sections, with each section showing receipts for a single item.
- Summary: If this option is selected, each "section" of the report only occupies a single line. This means that if you select Vendor under "Grouping", there is a single line for each vendor indicating how many items have been received from that vendor.
If you select Inventory Item under "Grouping", there is a single line for each inventory item received, showing the quantity of that item received.
- Detail: If this option is selected, the report provides more detailed breakdowns of receipts. This means that if you select Vendor under "Grouping", each vendor section contains a line for each type of item received from the vendor. The line tells when the item was received, the waybill of the shipment, and the quantity received.
If you select Inventory Item under "Grouping", each item section contains a line for each receipt for that item. The line tells the date the item was received, the vendor who supplied the item, the waybill of the shipment, and the quantity received.
