Purchase Orders Report

Learn how to quickly extract information for Purchase Orders

Written by David Andrade

Purchase Orders' report allows you to list and analyze all the purchase orders in Autodesk Fusion Operations over a certain period of time.

This is where you can find it:

Generating the Report

1. Go to Reports menu (1) and click "Purchase Orders" (2).

2. Filter the purchase orders by time frame, Purchase Order, Receiving, Supplier, Delivery Address, Product, Product Families, and approval state as shown in the screenshot below.

Time period : Refers to the due date interval of the Purchase Orders to be presented. You can define it by clicking on the clock icon and selecting either:

  • A basic range (start and end date), or

  • A relative period (e.g., Today, Last 7 days)

If a relative time period is selected, you can also schedule the report.
Note: The selected time interval cannot exceed one month.

Consider entries without due date set : Since the due date is not mandatory for every Purchase Order, enabling this option will include orders that do not have a due date defined.

Purchase Order / Receiving : Filter the report by a specific Purchase Order or receiving record.

Supplier : Filter results by supplier to generate a report specific to that supplier.

Delivery Address : If a supplier has multiple addresses, you can filter by a specific delivery address.

Product family : Filter results by a specific product family.

Approval status : Filter Purchase Orders by their approval status. Available options include:

  • In Review

  • Approved

  • Confirmed

  • Rejected

Purchase Order status : Allows you to filter Purchase Orders by their status. You can select any combination of:

  • Open

  • Archived

  • Closed

3. Once you get the filters defined, scroll down and click on ‘Generate Report.’

If the message shown below is presented, you can choose to generate a report in excel or in pdf, by pressing the desired option.

If the message shown below is presented, you must reduce timeframe or add additional filters to your report.

Moreover, if you already know you want to generate the report in PDF or Excel, you can also use directly the dropdown button, next to the "generate report" one, on the bottom of the page. After pressing it, you have the option to select the Excel (1) or PDF (2) option.

Once you've chosen the desired format for the report, a page will open, displaying a list of all reports generated in the past five days. This list includes the name of the generated file, the report's expiration date, and its status:

  • Waiting: This indicates that the report is in a queue for generation.

  • Generating: This means that the report is currently being generated by the system.

  • Download: This means the report is ready to be downloaded and saved to your computer. By clicking this link, you can download the selected report in the defined format.

You can check all the generated reports, within a five days range, by going to the Reports tab and pressing the option "View Recent Reports".

Interpret and download the results

This is an example of the result you get:

At the bottom of the report, you can also find a table that displays the total number of receiving's, the total quantity, and how much it all costs.

This report will list the purchase orders, regardless of their approval status (draft, in review, accepted or completed).

Last but not least, you can also export it to either PDF or Excel by pressing the export buttons at the top.
