Overview

Print this report to obtain summary or detailed purchase information by vendor or inventory item. More...

  • Transactions can be listed by vendor number or item number.
  • The detail report includes all item details posted for the vendor in the selected periods, and lists the year, period, transaction type, date, transaction number, location (if you use Inventory Control), quantity, cost, and unit of measure, and the number of days between the purchase order and receipt posting dates for each item detail.
  • The detail report lists all purchases of an item from the vendor in the selected period, and it also lets you include job details if you use Purchase Orders with Project and Job Costing.
  • The detail report can provide serial and lot numbers for applicable items if the Include Serial/Lot Numbers check box on the Purchase History Report screen is selected. You will be prompted to enter a start and end range for serial and lot numbers you want included in the report.
  • The summary report lists the year and period, total quantity received of each item (in stocking units), total cost, quantity returned, and return, credit note, and debit note totals.
  • The summary report consolidates details with the same item number, year, period, and date into single details.
  • The multicurrency version of the report includes each vendor's currency code. You can print amounts in the functional currency or in the vendors' currencies.

Because Summary reports provide less information than Detail reports, some fields will be hidden if you select Summary in the Report Type list. For instance, summary reports retrieve purchase orders from a range using specific years and periods, while detail reports can also select by Document Date and filter by Item Number.

You can use the report as a purchases journal, to record purchases by vendor or item, and to indicate the strengths and weaknesses in company purchasing history.

Tip: Print this report after running Day End Processing, at the end of an accounting cycle, or any time you want to check your purchasing history.
