Use the Branch Multiperiod Analysis program to print branch information stored in the SA branch file in three formats.
Report information includes the following:
Report totals are printed. The total number of branches listed is also included.
Templates that store "current period" (or similar values like "system date") resolve to the "current period at the time the report is run" rather than what the "current period" was at the time the template was created. For example: If you save a template for the Branch Multiperiod Analysis and select "Current Period" for the Beginning Period field, when that template is selected to run again (either manually or via Job Stream) the current period will be derived based on the setting of Current period in the Nonstatic Control F/M (SAF990) when the report is run not the period when the template was created.
1. Format
Enter whether to print the A-accumulated, C-comparison or M-multiperiod format. The program defaults to A.
2. Beginning Branch
Enter the first branch number for which you want to see information. The program defaults to the branch assigned to the terminal on which you are working. You can also click the Search button or press F2 to search for existing branches. Press F1 to enter FIRST.
3. Ending Branch
Enter the last branch number for which you want to see information. The program defaults to the branch assigned to the terminal on which you are working.
4. Number Periods Back
If you selected Comparison format, enter the number of periods back that you want to compare against the beginning and ending periods you entered. For instance, say in the beginning and ending fields you indicate that you want to see Periods 1 and 2 and you want to compare 12 periods back for each. Assuming that your company operates on 12 periods per fiscal year, the report would give you the following comparisons:
|
Period 1 |
12 back from Period 1 |
Period 2 |
12 periods back from Period 2 |

Jan. 2006 |
Jan. 2005 |
Feb. 2006 |
Feb. 2005 |

Press Enter (CR) to initially default to 12. If you select Accumulated or Multiperiod formats, this field is disabled.
5. Beginning Period
Enter the period (PPYY) with which you want the report to begin. The program defaults to the first period of the calculated current year.The system calculates the current period using the current system date and the information store in the Company Period & Ending Dates F/M (GLF970) and Standard Period Ending Dates F/M (GLF965) programs.
6. Ending Period
Enter the period (PPYY) with which you want the report to end. The ending period must be within 12 periods of beginning period. The program defaults to the calculated current period.
7. Figures
Enter the figures that you want printed on the report. You can enter any combination of S-Sales, C-Cost, G-GM$ and P-GM%. If you are printing in Multiperiod or Comparison formats, the program defaults to S-Sales. If you selected the Accumulated format, the program defaults to SCGP.
8. Cutoff
This field allows you to cut off customers that show figures either A-Above or B-Below a certain amount (the amount is indicated in the next field). The program defaults to N-No Cutoff.
9. Amount
If the Cutoff control is set to N-Cutoff, this field is skipped. Enter the cutoff amount for which customers will not print (+/- 99999999). The program defaults to 0.
10. Descending Order
Indicate whether or not you want to print figures in descending order — from highest to lowest. The program defaults to N.
11. New Page
If you choose to print the report in Item or Alpha order, this field is skipped. Otherwise, indicate whether you want each vendor or item class to print on a new page. The program defaults to N.
