This option applies to reports run automatically from Manufacturing modules, other than the Bill of Materials module.
Use this option to select alternative reports for Manufacturing modules that are run automatically within options.
Note: You can select your own Manufacturing reports from menus. However, after creating these, you must add them to menus in the usual way so that they are available for selection.
Manufacturing modules offer a range of standard reports which are already defined in terms of content and layout. You can create your own reports using Report Designer in the following ways:
Note: If you amend the standard layouts without copying them first, amendments by Sage to the standard reports will overwrite your changes.
Note: When you save layouts from Report Designer, you must save them in the same folder as the standard report layouts.
For more information on using Report Designer, see the Report Designer help.
To open Report Designer help:
Open: Report Designer > Report Designer.
To make the automatically run reports which you have created, available for use, you can:
When you select a report, Manufacturing checks if a custom layout has been associated with the report; and if so, uses the custom layout instead.
Note: Custom layouts apply to all users.
You must have:
Open: Manufacturing System Manager > Settings > Custom Layouts.
