Using the ChartField Selection Grid for SQR Reports

The ChartField Selection grid enables you to select the ChartFields combinations you want to view.

To enter report selection criteria in the ChartField Selection Grid:

  1. Enter the header selection criteria and click Refresh to populate the grid with rows for each ChartField.

  2. Click Include CF for the ChartFields that you want to include values for in the report.

    PeopleSoft delivers reports with a fixed number of lines on the report heading. This number is determined based on the most common business practice. There is just enough space for a few ChartFields on the heading and still retain enough space for detail lines on each page. If you elect to include more ChartFields, the report will not have enough space to print all ChartField headings. This results in report heading and detail lines that overlay each other. If your circumstances require you to print more than the optimum number of ChartField values, change the report to increase the report heading lines. Increasing the number of ChartFields is a customization and is not supported by PeopleSoft.

  3. (Optional) Use the Value field to enter ChartField values for the budgets you want to report on.

    Leave blank to select all values for the ChartField. Some Commitment Control report request pages include Value From and Value To fields to enable you to select ranges of ChartField values.

  4. (Optional) Change the Sequence in which the ChartFields appears on the report.

    For example, if you are reporting by Account and Department and you select Account as first in the sequence, then the report displays budget rows as follows:

    Account Department

    60000

    100

     

    110

     

    120

    62000

    100

     

    110

     

    130

    The default sequence is alphabetical.

  5. (Optional) Select Descr to include a description of the ChartField value.

  6. (Optional) Select Subtotal to include a subtotal of all amounts for the ChartField.

    For example, if you are reporting by Account and Department as in the above example, and you select Subtotal for Account, the report displays a subtotal amount for each Account:

    Account Department Amount

    60000

    100

    1000

     

    110

    2000

     

    120

    1000

    Subtotal

     

    4000

    62000

    100

    2000

     

    110

    1000

     

    130

    3000

    Subtotal

     

    6000
