The Messages Report is used to view information about messages (up to twenty five characters, associated with transaction line items) that have been entered at salespoints. The default report prints each message associated with items sold during a user-defined time period, with the number of times the message was printed and the dollar amount in associated sales for each message. The detail report adds the date, time, department, category and item for each transaction associated with a message that fits the user-defined report criteria. Messages are sorted in ASCII order. You may want to set up a system to make printing ranges of messages easy. The Messages Report can be filtered by date, operator and salespoint.
