You have the possibility to generate the following two types of statistical output:
- Purchase statistics (i.e. Reception statistics)
- Supplier evaluation statistics
Note: You can maintain the statistics specification for Purchase statistics as well as print the output. However, with Supplier evaluation statistics you only have the option to print the output.
Unlike the DC1 Report Writer, which often displays information on a higher level, the advantage with using the Purchase statistics routine, is being able to view detailed reception line information.
Apart from being able to generate statistical output, DC1 Distribution also automatically updates statistical-related fields. Note: These fields are a summation of Item and Supplier information.
You can find these fields in the:
- Item file (Supplier information panel), where you can view information such as the:
- Number of order lines generated for the item year-to-date
- Total order value for the item year-to-date
- Number of receptions for the item year-to-date
- Item file (Warehouses panel) for an actual warehouse, where you can view information such as the:
- Number of issues year-to-date and last year
- Quantity issued year-to-date and last year
- Number of receipts year-to-date and last year
- Quantity received year-to-date and last year, etc.
- Business partner file (Supplier file panel), where you can view information such as the:
- Number of orders entered for the supplier year-to-date
- Total purchase order value for the supplier year-to-date
- Number of receptions year-to-date and last year
See the Panel help for the respective panels for more information.
