Additional Selection Input Screen

After populating the fields on many report screens, you can use the Slct hot key to enter additional criteria for selecting data to include in the report. This hot key displays the Additional Selection Input screen. The system first selects data using the entries on the main report screen. It then uses entries on the Additional Selection Input screen to further refine the data selection for the report.

Note: This screen is a generic second level data filter. Some options may not pertain to the report or print job you are running. The options vary depending on where the report obtains its data from, such as sales orders versus purchase orders.

To enter additional selection criteria for a report:

  1. From the report screen, use the Slct hot key to display the Additional Selection Input screen.

  2. In the Print Selections on Report (Y/N) field, enter Y to list the names of all additional selections, along with associated entries, following the header information on the report. The default is N.

  3. In the remaining fields, enter the selection criteria as necessary. In each field, you can have one or multiple entries.

  4. For single entries, type the data in the field.

  5. For multiple entries, position the cursor in the field and use the Multi hot key.

  1. Press Esc to return to the report or print job setup screen.

Note: Use the Report Currency field on this screen to convert all the amounts on the report to a currency different from your default currency. Press F10 and select the currency you want to use.
