Creating an Example Group Section Report

Use the Director to create this example group section report, which is used for reviewing inventory on hand. A group section format was selected for this report because the information for a specific inventory item is easily reviewed in a group. The data selection filters the data so that inventory items are included in the report for only one business unit, business unit 27. The V41021E - Item Location, Item Master Join business view is attached to the group section, and these business view columns were selected for the section layout:

Location.
Item Number - Short.
Primary Location (P/S).
Category G/L.
