The Production Accounting application includes reports that can be used to analyse, visualise and export data. The reporting functions utilise the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reporting engine.

Note: Other reporting applications may be used to analyse data from the Production Accounting application. Integration with and use of third-party reporting applications are outside the scope of this documentation.

Using the SSRS interface

When working with SSRS reports, be aware of the following:

• If your web browser has been inactive for a period of time, your SSRS session may have expired, in which case an error message displays. Select the report from the primary and sub-menu again to reload the screen.
• When you export a report, wait for the export to finish before you make any changes on the report screen or navigate to a different report or screen. Changes made to your screen may affect the exported content.

Reports menu items

Site specific reports are available from the Reports menu. Depending on your Production Accounting configuration, some reports may be located under the Admin menu.

Report parameters

At the top of each report screen are the report parameters. The parameters may include date selectors and drop-down lists.

Reports may have default parameter values. For example, a date range with a start date that defaults to the first day of the month, or a date parameter that defaults to yesterday’s date. Some parameters show only the date, others show the date and time. You can modify the parameter values as required before running a report.

Multi-select lists in report parameters allow you to report on a specific subset of Production Accounting objects and locations. Select All can be used to select all items in a drop-down list.
