After defining and customizing the criteria for a report in Sage 100 ERP, you can save the filter criteria and selections you made as a unique report setting that can be saved for future use and easily re-run later ... without having to plug in all that criteria again manually. You can create and save any number of customized report settings per report and company.
The following example demonstrates how to take an existing report setting, modify the criteria, and save the new customized settings for future use.
