Truck Operating Cost by Account

Truck Operating Costs, by Account (#619)
|
|
Why:
You need to know how much you spent on your trucks for a type of expense,
like fuel or tires.
Focus:
Focus of Report is to provide a quick tabulation of your expenses on a
specific type of expense by truck.
Selection Window:
The selection window allows you to filter the report by:
- Date Range: You can either select a pay period, or you can simply enter the start and end date directly into the selection criteria window. The Period selection is merely a short-cut for entering a date range, so you can always edit the start and end dates to be any date you choose. For example, you can pick a period defined as 8/1/2004 to 8/12/2004, and then extend the end date by three days to 8/15/2004. If you leave the end time blank, the program will assume you want the entire day for the end date. In the example below, the start date/time is 8/1/2004 00:00:00 (a blank is assumed to be time 00:00:00) and the end date/time is 8/15/2004 00:00:00. Because the end date time is blank (or 00:00:00), the program assumes you want the whole day of the 15th and makes the end date/time 8/16/2004 00:00:00. In the selection query, the program returns records whose start date/time is greater than OR equal to the start/date time and strictly less than the end date/time.
- Note: for report information that is based on load tickets, the report uses the Date Out (not the Date In).
- Truck. You can select any or all of your Trucks.
- Account: You can select any or all of your accounts. These
are the accounts by which you categorize your miscellaneous expenses.

Detailed Description:

expenses to be included in the report. The expenses may be listed by date
