Introduction

QAD has rewritten numerous reports throughout the supply chain modules to take advantage of the enhanced functionality available through Reporting Framework. These reports provide a significantly improved reporting capability to users of the QAD .NET UI.

For information on the tools used to write the enhanced reports, see User Guide: QAD Reporting Framework.

In some cases, reports have been redesigned as browses (or browses as reports) or broken into multiple menu items, as shown in Reporting Updates for Supply Chain Functions.

Note: The standard versions of the programs are still available in their original menu locations. You can use them in both character UI and .NET UI.

You can access the new programs in several ways:

• By entering the title in the menu search field. For reports, the search result lists two occurrences. Menu icons differentiate the enhanced reports from the standard versions.

• By entering the enhanced report menu number in the menu search field (Reporting Updates for Supply Chain Functions). The menu positions are always 25 or greater, so the .NET UI-only reports do not display on the character UI menus.

Note: You cannot access a new report by entering a Progress program name.

• By navigating in the menu tree to the related functionality area. The enhanced reports are in the same directories as their standard report counterparts.
