Hi there,

I would like to be able to run a report for a specific supplier showing the Ex.Ref column that is shown when entering their invoice, is this possible ?

Yes

BUT

You need to think about this, the extra ref is not on the invoice header, it is on the split, so each split could have a different extra ref.

Do you want to list the splits with the extra ref, or do you want to list the headers where the first/last transaction has that extra ref?

Hi there,

As its a haulage company, we need to keep an eye on fuel usage.

Im not sure what a split is. Anyway, I want to export a repot to show supplier invoice details from the following headings date, invoice no. (vehicle reg no.s are entered under Ex. Ref), amount of fuel is entered under details, then net, vat etc.

Hope this is a bit clearer.

Thanks

I assume the report is at the split level, so you should be fine, just add a criteria for the audit_split.extra_ref and yo should be able to enter a vehicle registration number and get the details.

I would not do it as a report in Sage, because there is a risk/chance/probability that data will be entered inconsistently, eg uppercase or lowercase or with or without spaces, then there is a risk that someone might forget to put a registration number on a transactions.

Running a report on a vehicle will only tell you about that one vehicle, not give you a breakdown of the fuel expenses across all the vehicles, highlighting any unallocated expense.

What I would do is to extract all the fuel transactions from sage into excel, force the extra ref to be uppercase, possibly strip out any spaces, possibly add in period grouping.

Then make a pivot table from that, so you can see for each period, what each vehicle spent and what fuel was not assigned to any vehicle.

If there is an error, a mistyped registration or a blank entry, you can look it up on the raw data, find the entry in sage correct it and refresh the sheet.
