Running the Comparative Sales Service Level Report

Use the Comparative Sales Service Level Report to compare sales service level data for two different periods of time. This report selects orders with a ship date that falls in the selected start and end date ranges. Use the Order Service Level Report to compare order completion by required date.

You can run this report for any time period. You can select a specific customer to include in the report, as well as any number of price lines or buy lines. Sort the report by customer, buy line, or price line. You can include stock items, nonstock items, or both in the report. Directs can be included or be the only type of invoices on the report.

The completion rates are based on the total orders, total line items, and total dollars.
