Sample Reports

Material Usage Reports: Usage reports can be generated based on any combination of criteria such as time, date, blender ID number, work order number, operator number, recipe number, and material type.

Retrieval Times Data retrieval times may be set and material usage will be reported for the period between the times selected.
