Use the Item Multiperiod Analysis program to print item information stored in the SA item file in three formats.
Report formats include this information.
In the three formats, item and report totals and the total number of items listed are printed. If the print order selected is vendor, the report prints item class totals within vendor and vendor totals. If the print order selected is item class, the reports prints vendor totals within item class and item class totals.
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 Item 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.
