Viewing Brief Vendor Statistics
The Brief Vendor Statistics report presents a page from the vendor list and includes information about orders statistics for each vendor. To view Brief Vendor Statistics:
- Choose Vendor Statistics from the reports menu.
- The system displays vendors alphabetically by vendor code. To display the page on which a vendor appears, enter the vendor code and choose Display Page for Vendor Code. If you don't know the vendor code, see Finding a Vendor Code.
- To view another page of vendor statistics, choose GoTo Page#. Enter the page number and choose Done.
The Brief Vendor Statistics display indicates the vendor number and the total number of vendors in the list and shows the following information sorted by vendor code:
- Vendor Code — Code used to identify a vendor.
- Claim Cycle — Code representing the period of time to wait until the system selects an order as overdue and ready to be claimed.
- Orders — Number of order records sent to a vendor.
- Claims — Number of claim letters sent to a vendor.
- # Cancelled — Number of order records cancelled.
- # Received — Number of order records received.
- Order Total — Total amount of estimated prices from order records.
- Invoice Total — Total amount from paid fields in order records.
If a vendor has a second address, you can view that on the Full Vendor Display.
The system highlights the vendor code you entered with red hyperlink text. You can view the Full Record Display for any vendor on the page by choosing the underlined vendor code in the Brief Vendor Statistics display.
Current Data
Both the Brief and the Full Statistics Displays present data copied to the vendor file obtained from the Recalculation of Vendor Statistics. (See Creating Vendor Activity Reports for information on updating your vendor records.) If your library has not run a Recalculation of Vendor Statistics recently, the data shown in this report might not reflect the system's current data.
