Additional Options for the Print & Value Assemblies Report

The Print & Value Assemblies report option, available within the Stock Control / Assemblies menu, gives you a report showing each assembly with its component detail items and the value (usually at cost price) for each of the component details and the assembly as a whole.

Additional options are now available within the report parameters for this option including the facility to exclude the cost-price / valuation aspects from the printed report allowing for an assembly specification to be printed without showing cost detail.

Value at Which Cost / Price– selecting this option listed all the numeric items on file but unless selected a profiled cost / price item the system reported the selection was invalid. This option will now only list the valid cost/price items.

Exclude Component Criteria – this option allows for the entry of selection criteria against the stockrecord which if matched will exclude the component record from the printed report. Note that you can save selection criteria or access previously saved criteria for the exclusion by focusing the cursor on this item and pressing <F4-Select>.

Include Comments and Notes – selecting this option controls whether comments and notes are included in the report. The system will now remember setting for this item between reports.

Omit Cost on Report – selecting this option omits print of the special cost items that can be included on this report layout. Items affected are the special items – 163-Line Value, 164-Stock Cost and 165-Cost-Per for the component detail and item 164-Stock Cost for the assembly header. The system will also exclude the total value of the assembly from the report footer.

Note that if you have set copy items from the stock file to your own user fields on the assembly and component files for cost detail and including these items on the report then they will not be omitted with this item set.

Maintain Assemblies

In a further change the ‘Maintain Assemblies’ menu now has a ‘PRINT’ option that links to this report.On selection of this option you will be prompted for the Assembly Code and the system will then call this report with a pre-set range of assembly numbers.
