Printing Vendor Activity Statistics Reports

The Vendor Activity Statistics report lists information about the purchases and payment history for the current year to date and previous fiscal year for the vendor records in your Accounts Payable system. Most of the information on this report is also available on the Vendor Activity tab of the Vendors screen.

For information on the contents of this report, see A/P Vendor Activity Statistics Report Screen.

When to Print

Print the report when you need to check on vendor account activity such as the last time you made a purchase from the vendor, the date and amount of your last payment to the vendor, the average number of days it takes you to pay the vendor, or the date a vendor's balance was last revalued (if you use a multicurrency Accounts Payable system).

To print the Vendor Activity Statistics report:

  1. Open Accounts Payable > A/P Vendor Reports >  Vendors.
  2. Select Vendor Activity Statistics as the report type.
  3. Specify whether to print amounts in the vendor currency or the functional currency (if you use a multicurrency Accounts Payable ledger).
  4. Select up to four selection and sorting criteria. If you do not specify selection criteria the report includes all vendor records. If you do not specify sorting criteria the report orders the vendor records by vendor number.

  5. Click Print.

    • If you are printing to a physical printer, the Print window appears. Confirm your printer selection and the number of copies to print, and then click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel or Setup.
    • If you are printing to the screen (preview), the report appears in a new window. You can print the report or export it to a file.

      Note: For Web-based clients, the preview screen appears first when you click the Print button.

    • If you are printing to a file, the Export window appears. Specify the file format (for example, PDF, DOC, or XLS). Also, specify a destination for the file:

      • Application. View the report in an application that can open files of the specified format (for example, if you specify PDF as the file format, the report opens in Adobe Acrobat). You can then save the file.
      • Disk file. Save the report to a location you specify.
      • Microsoft Mail. Send the report as an e-mail attachment.

      You can enter the name of a non-existent file or directory to be created by the system when you print. When you print to a file, the report is assigned a unique name, for example, CS1000.TXT.

    • If you are printing to e-mail, an e-mail message appears with the report attached.
