Purchasing Recurring report
The Purchasing Recurring report shows recurring transactions in Purchasing. You can see all the recurring transactions along with details such as the document type, their frequency, amount, the next date the system will generate a transaction and so on.
Use this report to see a list of transactions that have been scheduled to automatically generate based on the schedule assigned. This report only displays the next scheduled transaction. For example if you have a schedule to generate once a month over 12 months, you will see only the transaction that needs to be generated next. After the transaction has generated, then the following month's transaction will appear.
If you have many recurring transactions, you can filter the report results on a number of criteria, such as only those recurring transactions for a specific supplier or supplier type.
You can sort the results by one of a number of criteria such as Due date, Supplier ID, Supplier name, and so on. After you display the results, you can drill down into the information for the supplier and the recurring template.
Purchasers use this report to forecast the type of transactions that will be generated for a period.
For information on terms that may differ in your location, see Terminology across locales.

Time period
You can use one of the numerous pre-defined reporting periods available from the Reporting period and As of date fields, or create your own reporting period using the Start date and End date fields.
In the Time period section, do one of the following:
- Use the Reporting period dropdown list to select the reporting period. Either enter a date in the As of date field or use the calendar tool to select a date.
- Enter a specific Start date, End date, or both. Alternatively, use the calendar tool to select the desired dates.
If you complete all the time period fields (that is, if you fill in the Reporting period, As of date, Start date, and End date fields), Sage Intacct generates your report based on the start and end dates. It ignores the As of date.
The following table describes the fields in the Time period section.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Reporting period |
These periods are relative to the As of date. All periods begin on the first day of the period, such as the first day of the month, quarter, or year that you select. |
|
As of date |
The date that Intacct will use as a baseline for the reporting period you select. Defaults to today's date. |
|
Start date |
Leave the Start date blank to include all information from the earliest date of your Intacct data up to and including the end date. |
|
End date |
Leave the End date blank to include all information from the start date up to today. |
|
Prompt on run |
Select this checkbox to force Intacct to wait for you (or anyone using this report) to enter a location, department, and/or time period before it will run the report. |
Report filters
Use the filters to focus the results of your report. In effect, filters enable you to isolate and assemble just the data you want. You can set any combination of filters.
- To narrow the results to a specific supplier or a range of suppliers, use the From supplier and To supplier dropdown menus.
- To narrow the results to a specific supplier type, use the Supplier type dropdown menu.
- To narrow the results to a specific document type or a range of types, use the From document template ID and To document template ID dropdown menus.
-
The following filter options display only if you work in a multi-currency and multi-entity environment:
- To filter the report by geographic location, select the location from the Location dropdown menu. If a location is required when you run this report at the top level, the system uses the location you specify to determine the appropriate currency.
- To filter the report by department, select the department from the Department dropdown menu.
- If you want the report to cover certain locations regardless of what you select in Location, use the Show for dropdown menu to select the locations you want the report to cover:
- If you want the report to include data for all locations regardless of the entity you're currently using, select All Locations.
- If you want the report to include data only for the entity you're currently using, select This Location.
- If you want the report to include data only for locations that are child locations of your current entity, select Child Locations. For example, if your current entity is California, and you have child locations for San Francisco and Los Angeles, use this option to have the report include data only for Los Angeles and California.
- To filter the report by geographic location, select the location from the Location dropdown menu.
The following table describes each item in the Filters section of this report settings page:
