Using reports
iDistributor comes with two reports for overviewing the distribution status. They are:
- Requested Distributions
- Successful Distributions
The reports can be found in Reports -> Custom
Requested distributions gives you an overview of all distribution requests sent by your ERP with information about the recipient, the product requested and whether an SDS was sent or not. If an SDS was not sent, it might be because the recipient bought that product recently and therefore already has the safety data sheet. If an error occurs with one of your distribution requests, you will have the error message available in the report – a common scenario is that a distribution request was sent from your ERP system for a product that you have not got in your iDistributor system.
