Order Reporting (Sales)

The Sales > Order Reporting pre-filter can be used to generate over thirty-five different reports. Numerous selection criteria allow users to filter and sort results for conducting detailed sales analysis. Once a report has been generated, users can drill down into specific Sales Orders to view additional information. In addition, users with the appropriate permissions may also modify selected orders.

Printing Sales Documents

After generating a list of Sales Orders via the Sales > Order Reporting pre-filter, it is possible to print documents associated with a particular Sales Order from the report results screen, e.g. Packing Lists, Invoices, Sales Pick Lists, Labels, custom forms, etc. To print a document, click the "Print Order" button when the desired record is selected, which will open the Copies To Print form. Users may also choose to email these documents by selecting a "Print To" of "Email" and selecting the appropriate recipient in the "Email To" field. There are four options available to Sales Orders:

  1. Bill-to Company: Sends the document to the email address listed on the Bill-to Company's General tab.
  2. Contact: This option sends the document to the default Contact in the Bill-to Company's CRM Contact record.
  3. Manual: Allows the user to manually enter an email address. Clicking on the "Print" button opens a new email message in Microsoft Outlook with "None" in the address field.
  4. Ship-to Company: Sends the document to the email address listed in the Ship-to Company's General tab.

Alternatively, it is possible to print Sales Order Labels via the "SO Label" button on the Sales Order header. When printing Sales Order documents to email, the system will insert a record into the history of the Sales Order to show that the document was emailed. It will show who the email was sent to; in the classic version, it will just say emailed <document>. Additionally, in web versions of Deacom, when printing PDFs or to E-mail for Sales, Purchasing, or Job reports and labels, the order number is appended at the end of the file name.

"Group Email" print properties option

The field "Group Email" is available to the "Copies to Print" form. This field is only available when printing sales order reports and will be only available if the "Print To" field on the form is set to "Email". The process for this field is indicated below.

  • If this check box is checked, email "All" will be grouped based on either Bill-to, Ship-to or Contact, whichever is selected.
  • If Contact is selected, Contact person can only be selected if Bill-to and Ship-to are the same.
  • If Contact is selected and Contact person is not selected, orders will be grouped by Bill-to, then Ship-to, then all Contacts pertaining to them will be emailed. If no contacts exist, email will fall back into Bill-to and Ship-to emails.
  • Bill-to will fall back to Bill-to email if a contact is not selected.
  • Ship-to will fall back to Ship-to email if a contact is not selected.
  • Note that if this box is not checked, the system will create a separate email for each record.

Calculated Fields

Deacom reports contain calculated fields that provide users with additional information including sums or totals. Calculated fields may also contain the results of back-end data computations based on information displayed in common sales fields. The list below contains the most commonly used calculated fields in the sales area:

System Navigation

These changes are available via the "Modify Info" button when viewing Sales Order information.
  • Separate security exists to control which users may modify orders.
  • When shipped orders must be modified, such as making changes to Part Numbers, Quantities, or Prices, the order must first be un-shipped. Once the appropriate changes have been made, the order must be re-shipped. If the Sales Order has been invoiced, the user must first un-invoice the Sales Order and then un-ship it to make changes.
  • If modifying or cancelling a backorder, note that linked jobs will not be changed.

    • The following Sales Rep fields are available to this report: Sales Rep First Name, Sales Rep Last Name, and Sales Rep CCode.
    • Ranking reports do not include the sales tax from orders in the total dollars calculations. This is because the ranking in these reports is often done based on Part Number, Category, Sub-Category, and Item Search 1-5 fields and therefore excludes sales tax lines since they do not have an item number on them. In situations where companies wish to validate order information on ranking reports, the best report to use is the "Order Detail" report, filtered to exclude tax lines. One option for removing sales tax lines is to use an advanced filter of Sales Order Lines fields and set the condition to remove Part Number IDs (or_prid) not equal to 0 and then run the report.

    • When using Ranking 2 as the Report Type, selecting the "Multiple" option from the "Rank By" dropdown menu provides the ability to select multiple rank by options at the same time. The report will then group the results based on the rank by options chosen. (See Rank By for specific options.)

      • Current Quarter Total Dollars - dollar amount based on the current fiscal year quarter that we are currently in as of today's date. This will be based off of the default fiscal year. (Example - if today is 2/26/18, and your fiscal year Q1 contained 01/01/2018-03/31/2018, the value would calculate for data between 01/01/2018-03/31/2018.
