Report Body Layout

The Sterling Warehouse Management System reports consist of various sections. Depending upon the number of rows, reports may span across multiple pages. In the case of multi-page reports, the header and criteria information appear on the first page only and are not repeated on subsequent pages.

This topic describes the layout of a report in Sterling Warehouse Management System.

The user information is printed only on the first page for each report, and is not repeated on the subsequent pages.

Search Parameters

This area displays the search parameters entered by the user.

The search parameter is printed only on the first page for each report and is not repeated on the subsequent pages.

Page Break Criteria

This area displays the criteria for the page break. Based upon this criteria, the report is printed on a new page. For example, if the page break criteria is enterprise, the report is printed on a new page for each new enterprise.

Note: The report displays only those enterprises that have some data.

The page break criteria is printed only once for each occurrence of the criteria and is not repeated in the subsequent pages of the report for the same criteria. For example, for enterprise E1, the page break criteria E1 is printed once at the top of the table that contains the information for E1. If this table spans across multiple pages, the page break criteria E1 is not printed on the subsequent pages. However, if the information for enterprise E2 is also printed in the same report, the table containing this information is printed on a new page and is preceded by the page break criteria E2.

Report Data

This area displays the requested report information, in a tabular format.

In any column, if a value repeats consecutively for more than one row, the value is printed only once and is not repeated for each of the successive rows in which the column value is the same.

Group Totals

This area displays the totals for a group. For example, in the figure, this area displays the totals for enterprise E1.

Summary Totals

This area displays a summary of the totals for all groups.

Links to Detailed Reports

These links enable you to view detailed reports. These links are typically present for reports that contain summarized information. Click these links to view detailed reports that provide more information about a particular aspect of the main report.

For example, in Figure 1–6, clicking the link in the No. of Outbound Orderlines column displays the Outbound Order Lines Billing Detail Report (Figure 1–7), which provides detailed information about the outbound orders and their order lines.
