Reports > Overview

Overview
QAD CSS provides several reports that let users view information created during the order-entry process and the administration of QAD CSS maintenance functions.
The request screens that you use to create reports share common features. Report fields let you enter selection criteria for the report that limits the search. Entering search criteria for a report is optional. Fields left blank automatically use the default values found in reports_global.i. In addition, the report uses all entered parameters to limit the results of the report.
