Description

Selections

  • Specify the Job, Customer, Change request, and Change request status you want listed on the report, or press Enter to include ALL on the report. If this screen was accessed from the Contract Info Bar, the selected job number and customer code will default. If the change request is not found in the Search window, click the New button to open the Change Request Entry screen.

  • If the Change request log print or Change request price summary format is selected, specify whether to include change request notes and/or associated project management documents on the report.

  • If the Contract status reconciliation format is selected, enter the last contract date to be included on this report or press Enter to end with the current Accounts Receivable processing date. The fiscal year and period associated with this date will display beside the date.

Format

Select which report format you want to print:

  • The Change request log print provides a detailed listing, showing the relevant dates and the number of days past due for each change request. (The days past due will continue to calculate even after the change request is Approved or Executed.) If the Project Management module is installed, this report can optionally include related documents and notes for each change request.

  • The Change request price summary shows the total price (for example, the estimated cost to the contractor for contractor work and subcontract work) of each change request. This is broken out by up to six cost types, based on setup in the Job Cost Installation screen for labor, material, equipment, subcontract, and two other user-defined cost types.

  • The Contract status reconciliation is sorted by change request status, starting with Executed, then Approved, followed by Proposed change requests, with subtotals for each status, followed by a job total. The change requests are sorted within each status by the change request number or by the change order number, depending on the start screen option selected.

Save Current

Located in the Saved Selections bar, click this button after you have made your report selections if you think you want to save them for future use. A widow opens that allows you to enter a name for the report "template" that you are saving, and you can set this template as your default. Additional settings allow you to share this template with other operators or to assign it as a system-wide default (thereby ensuring that everyone is seeing the same items).

Preview

After making your report selections, click this button to preview the report in PDF format. From here you can review the information and then print, save or email the file to someone else.

Export

Click this button to open the Export Report window. Here you can choose a report format (including PDF, RPT, RTF, CSV, and XLS), designate a name for the report (or accept the default name) and decide if you want the report to include auto-generated bookmarks.

My Reports

Use the My Reports window to add and maintain any custom Crystal reports. This feature can then be used in conjunction with the report filters feature to set the default report to a custom report.
