Include and $ Values >=

These fields allow you to specify the time period and minimum dollar value (as maintained in the Physical Inventory History File [MPH]) when selecting records.

In the Include box, type C (current), P (period-to-date), or Y (year-to-date) to choose a time period.

For example, if you enter C in the Include box and enter 50 in the "$ Values >=" box, only incidents from the current period with a value greater than or equal to $50 will be included on the report.  If an item has less than $50 in value in the current period, it will not print.  (You can enter a positive or a negative value in the $ Values >= field).

Use negative numbers for negative variances (losses); use positive numbers for positive variances (overages).

For example, if you enter C in the Include box and  -50 in the $ Values >= box, you are choosing to include only the Current period's records that account for a loss (due to shrinkage) of $50 or more.

Important:  When you enter a negative value, as in the above example, the >= symbol really means "equal to and more negative" than the value entered.  Therefore, you are selecting records that have caused $50 or more of losses due to shrinkage.
