Order History

Report Description
This report pulls many fields from the PO table (Z68) and it includes payment data per PO. It sums all payments per fiscal year for each PO with a maximum of three years of payment history and counts the number of FY invoice transactions. It can serve serials review, data clean-up projects, and statistics on library purchases for external reporting. It includes latest fund transaction (invoiced) and latest encumbered transaction. The report does not limit by order status, instead allowing you a complete "look" at all your orders. It is particularly useful for continuation orders. Once the data has been pulled it is available in Task Manager as a .csv file, which can be opened in Excel or imported into Microsoft Access for assorted manipulation.

Selection criteria
Order type = S and/or Order type = O; or Order type = M (note that order type = M would yield a huge report and may need additional criteria to limit it)
