Field filters provide users with the means to reduce the amount of data that is returned on the reports. The filters page contains both include filters and exclude filters. Only records that match the criteria specified in an include filter will be included on the report and records matching the criteria specified in an exclude filter will be omitted from the report. The actual filters displayed will vary for each report. Some reports will have a scroll bar along the right edge of the filters area. Moving the position of the scroll bar will bring additional filters into view.

 

 

•Enabling the Include In Header option will include the filter name and filter value in the report header

 

 

•The Filter value may be keyed in manually or selected from a search screen by clicking the Search button.

 

•Multiple values may be entered by separating each value with a comma.

 

•Ranges of values may be entered using the dash character as shown in Customer Number.

 

NECS recommends not using any commas or dashes in the data files. If the desired data value to be entered contains any dashes or commas the data value will need to be enclosed in quotation marks. eg. Data"-"Value. When filter values are entered using the search button, Ré4 will automatically insert commas and/or quotes as needed.

 

Vendor Number Filter

•The vendor number filter is a little bit unique. The normal operation would be to open in the Vendor Search screen.

 

•On some reports users will be able to right-click the filter name area to invoke an additional options menu.

 

This menu will allow the user to specify which vendors associated with the item should be processed.

 

•If the Check Primary Vendor option is checked, the filter value is only checked against the current items primary vendor, as defined in inventory file maintenance. This is the default vendor filter option.

 

•If the Check ALL Vendors is checked, the filter value will be checked against all of vendors assigned to the current items, as defined in inventory file maintenance.  

 

•The Include "CASE" Item's Primary Vendor option works similar to the Check ALL Vendors option, but will additionally check the primary vendor of the current item's Case Item Number, as defined in inventory file maintenance. If no Case Item Number is defined for the current item no additional check will be performed.                

 

•The Include ALL "CASE" Item's Vendors option works similar to the Check ALL Vendors option, but will additionally check all of the vendors assigned to the current item's Case Item Number, as defined in inventory file maintenance. If no Case Item Number is defined for the current item no additional checks will be performed.

 

•The Check BOTH Primary Vendors option works similar to the Check Primary Vendor option, but will additionally check the primary vendor of the current item's Case Item Number, as defined in inventory file maintenance. If no Case Item Number is defined for the current item no additional check will be performed.
