- Inbound Activity Report
Processing Dialog
From the "Inbound Processing" menu, take the "Inbound Activity Report" option. Once you press the <Enter> key, the following prompt panel will display.
Key the start and end date of the report. In place of keying the starting and ending dates each time, you run the report, a standard list of date range values was developed for all the major reports in WDLS. The key reasons are to make the range easier to enter, to ensure it accurately reflects the account periods, and to allow a report to be placed on a job scheduler without the dates having to be changed each time it is run. The standard values are:
| *ALL | All Dates |
|---|---|
| *TODAY | Today's Date Only |
| *YESTR | Yesterday's Date Only |
| *THISW | This Week's Dates |
| *LASTW | Last Week's Dates |
| *THISP | This Period's Dates |
| *LASTP | Last Period's Dates |
| *THISM | This Month’s Dates |
| *LASTM | Last Month’s Dates |
| *THISQ | This Quarter's Dates |
| *LASTQ | Last Quarter's Dates |
| *THISY | This Year's Dates |
| *LASTY | Last Year's Dates |
| *YTD | Year To Date |
In addition to the date range, the date that you want to use to apply for the range is also specified. The choices are *AA - actual arrival date and *SA scheduled arrival date. If you are running a report for tallies that were already received, the actual arrival date should be the most accurate. If the report is for pending receipts, the actual arrival date is probably not present and should not be used.
Generally, the starting storer number is always filled in. The report can also be run for all storers. To run the report for all storers, use the special value of *FIRST. The default ending storer number is a special value of *LAST which indicates that all storers from the starting storer to 9999 will be considered. Otherwise key the end of range storer number.
The next set of parameters allow you to produce the report for one or a set of buildings . An alternative to running the report for individual account is running the report by building. To run the report for a single building, key the building number in for both the values. The defaults of *FIRST and *LAST will run for all buildings.
Up to five status codes can be selected to appear on the report. These allow you to determine which tallies should be listed. The valid values are I = In Transit, A = Arrived (at dock), P = Put Away, S = Submitted for W/R print, W = W/R printed, D = Deleted, C = Cancelled.
The sort order of the report allows you to determine the order that the tallies will be listed. In addition, report sub-totals will be written when the sort field changes. The sort choices are *BUILDING - building, *DATE - date, *STORER - storer, and *NONE which is used to indicate that no subtotals are wanted.
A report title can be specified. The default is "Inbound Activity Report". Report titles can be used to easily identify a report run with a certain set of parameters from another with a different purpose. The following is a sample of an inbound activity report.
At the top of each page is the report title , the date and time the report was run, and the page number . The next line contains the parameter choices that were taken when the report was run. In this example, which was a test environment, we ran all the dates for all storers and buildings. We listed only receipts in a "W" status and sorted the report by building.
For each receiver you will see the invoice number, tally number, building, status of the receiver, storer, rate type to use, storer reference number, receipt type, load type, SCAC code of the carrier , and PRO numbe r. In the next column there will be an O, S, or D (or combination) if any line on the receiver was over, short, or damaged. This is followed by the weight and the date and time (in this case the arrival date and time based upon the date type specified.)
Because the sort was by date, a subtotal appears each time the date changes. For each date the number of receipts, total pieces, and total weight are shown. At the bottom of the report are grand totals that also list the number of receipts, grand total pieces, and grand total weight.
