With the deployment of the 0.09.03 Release, the Purchasing application now provides an additional 45 “NEW” Purchasing Reports.  These reports are accessible from within the Purchasing application via a report menu item with the appropriate security authorization.

These reports are considered “canned” reports with some simple user-defined fields available where applicable and easy for the end user to run. Canned reports are reports that have predefined fields that display in the report versus adhoc reports that allow users to pick specific fields to include as needed. The reports developed were based on requests from the Purchasing/Stores Subcommittee as well as end users’ needs.

A summary of the 45 “NEW” Reports include:                 

1) Requisition Report(s) that provide Annual, Open, Requisition Detail and Summary information.

2)  Purchase Order Report(s) that provide Open PO’s, Accounts on the PO, Board Reports, Items on the PO, Item Descriptions on the PO, Types of Good and Services, Status of the PO, as well as PO’s that have been flagged to Roll into the new year.

These reports are also available from within the Reports 2000 application.  An experienced user that has access to Reports 2000 has the ability to further customize the reports to meet their needs.

As the end users begin to use these reports and further needs are identified, the CECC staff can continue to develop or refine reports.  We strongly encourage the end user to familiarize themselves with these reports and communicate any data or technical issues as they arise.
