Reporting - Service Manager


There are a few reports that we would be recommending for the Service Manager to run on a regular basis


This will give you a start and then you can work out what other reports you need to run as well


All these reports can be generated through Blackpurl Header > Reporting > Reports - Common Search


All reports are setup with specific parameters and columns that match that particular report but the user can amend these parameters and columns etc as required


Please review this article - Reporting Tips - Totals / Changing Columns / Changing Parameters / Exporting Search Results 



Special Order Summary 


  • This report will list all Special Order Customer Orders and the status ie All in Stock / Need to Order / Order Submitted


  • It will allow the user to see if any of the Customer Orders for the Sales Type: Service can be booked in for further work (now that the parts have come in) 


  • Change the parameter to only show you Sales Type: Service by adding this parameter


The end result will show the report for your department only and should you want to view individual CO then just click on the CO number in blue




 Payroll Hours / Technician Hours / Technician Performance 


  • These three reports should be used in conjunction with each other to see how efficient / proficient and productive your Technicians are


  • Payroll Hours

  • These are very important reports so they have their own articles for you to review:
