# Purchase Orders Summary
### **What is a Purchase Orders Summary Report?**
The **Purchase Order Summary Report** provides a consolidated view of purchase orders based on the selected criteria. It includes both **Standard Purchase Orders** and **Transfer Purchase Orders**, allowing users to analyze ordered and received quantities across vendors, stores, and delivery schedules.
The report can be filtered using criteria such as **Delivery Date**, **Store**, **Purchase Order Number**, **Vendor**, **Tags**, **Memo**, and **Purchase Order Status**, enabling users to quickly review purchasing activity and monitor purchase order fulfillment.
### **Running and Customizing Purchase Orders Summary Report**
To access and work with the Purchase Orders Summary Report in XoroERP, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to **Menu → Reports → Purchase → Purchase Orders Summary Report**.
2. The report opens in an interactive pivot table format where you can customize the layout, apply filters, and analyze purchase order information based on your business requirements.
### **Report Filters**
To help users quickly narrow down purchase order data, the Purchase Orders Summary Report provides several filters at the top of the screen.
* **Order Date:** Filters purchase orders based on a predefined period or a custom date range. Users can select a predefined period such as **This Week**, **This Month**, or specify a custom **From** and **To** date.
* **PO Number:** Displays information for a specific purchase order.
* **Tags:** Filters purchase orders using assigned tags.
* **Memo:** Filters purchase orders based on the memo entered in the purchase order.
* **Vendor:** Displays purchase orders for the selected vendor.
* **PO Status:** Filters purchase orders by their current status.
After selecting the required filters, click the **Refresh** icon in the top-right corner of the report to apply the changes.
### **Pivot Table Rows and Columns**
The Purchase Orders Summary Report presents information using an interactive pivot table. Users can organize the report by arranging different fields into **Rows**, **Columns**, **Values**, or **Report Filters**, allowing purchase order information to be analyzed from different perspectives.
For example, users can group purchase orders by **Vendor**, **Purchase Order**, **Store**, **Item**, **Status**, or any other available field to generate customized summaries.
### **Purchase Orders Summary Report Fields**

### **Drill-Down Functionality**

Clicking any value in the **Total Sum of Qty Received** column opens a **Details** window displaying the individual purchase order records that contribute to the selected received quantity. The window displays information such as the **Purchase Order**, **Vendor**, **Qty Ordered**, and **Qty Received**, allowing users to review the transactions that make up the summarized value.
### **Toolbar**

2. **Tools**
The **Tools** menu provides utilities for managing and interacting with the report layout.
* **Expand All:** Expands all grouped rows and columns in the report, displaying every level of the hierarchy for detailed analysis.
* **Collapse All:** Collapses all expanded rows and columns, displaying only the highest level of the report hierarchy for a summarized view.
* **Fill Group Cells:** Fills blank cells within grouped rows or columns by repeating the corresponding group values, making the report easier to read and export.
* **Hide Group Cells:** Hides repeated group values within grouped rows or columns, displaying the group value only once to provide a cleaner and more compact report layout.
3. **Export**
Users can export the report in multiple formats (**CSV, HTML, PDF**) for sharing or further analysis.
* **Grid:** Displays the report in an interactive grid layout.
* **Charts:** Display graphical representations of the report data for visual analysis.
### **Layout and Formatting Options**
The right side of the toolbar provides options for customizing how the report is displayed.
#### **Format**
The **Format** option allows users to customize the appearance of the report, including number formatting, currency formatting, text alignment, decimal separators, thousand separators, and conditional formatting rules.
#### **Options**
The **Options** window allows users to customize how the pivot table is displayed. It provides settings for controlling the display of grand totals, subtotals, and the overall layout of the report.
The available options include:
**Grand Totals:** Controls whether grand totals are displayed in the report. Users can choose to:
* Do not show grand totals
* Show grand totals
* Show grand totals for rows only

### **Fields**
Selecting **Fields** opens the field configuration window where users can fully customize the report layout.
Within this window, users can search available fields, add or remove fields from the report, rearrange fields using drag-and-drop, and organize them into the **Report Filters**, **Rows**, **Columns**, and **Values** sections. Users can also expand or collapse field groups for easier navigation.
For example, drag **Vendor** into **Rows** to group purchase orders by vendor, **PO Status** into **Columns** to compare purchase orders across statuses, **Qty Ordered** or **Qty Received** into **Values** to summarize quantities, or **Store** into **Report Filters** to filter the report by store.
After making the required changes, click **Apply** to update the report.
**Calculated Values:** The **Add Calculated Value** option allows users to create calculated fields for the report.
Users can select predefined calculations or create custom formulas using mathematical operations and supported aggregation functions. These calculated values can then be added to the report like any other value field, enabling customized purchase order analysis based on business requirements.

Calculated values can also be defined using mathematical operations and system-defined functions such as **SUM**, **AVERAGE**, and other supported aggregate functions.
{% endhint %}
