Report data sources reference

What you’ll learn

Which of the five CRIBWISE report data sources holds the data you need, and every field in each one – with whether you can filter on it, group by it, or sum it in a custom report.


The five data sources at a glance

Every custom report is built on exactly one data source, chosen in the DataSource list of the report definition. The data source decides which fields the report can show, filter and total. You cannot change it after the report is saved.

Data source What one row is Use it for Fields Date fields to filter on
Raw transactions data One transaction Consumption and cost per user, device, item or cost allocation; audit trails; purchase history. 94 Timestamp
Assignment (inventory, restock) data One item in one device Stock levels, items at order point or out of stock, restock and reorder lists, stock value today. 55 –
Stock locations data One storage location Location utilisation, empty locations, what sits where, lot numbers per location. 39 Last inventory date
Orders data One order line Open and late orders, vendor delivery performance, purchase spend. 42 Order date, Expected date, Requested delivery date
Stock history data One monthly snapshot Stock value and quantity trends over months. 11 Snapshot date

Tip: Not sure which to pick? If the question is about what happened, use Raw transactions data or Orders data. If it is about what is there now, use Assignment data or Stock locations data. For how stock changed month by month, use Stock history data.


How to read the field tables

The field tables below mirror the report designer. When you save a new report, the Report definition tab lists every field of its data source under AVAILABLE FIELDS, and you drag fields into three boxes on the right.

Report definition tab of a CRIBWISE Table report on Raw transactions data, with DataSource and Report type, the available fields list, and the GROUP BY, COLUMNS and VALUES boxes highlighted
The report definition of a Table report on Raw transactions data. (1) DataSource and Report type, (2) the available fields with their descriptions, (3) GROUP BY, (4) COLUMNS and (5) VALUES.

Column in the tables What Yes means
Filter The field appears on the report’s Filters tab, so you can restrict the report to certain values of it.
Group by You can drop the field into GROUP BY or COLUMNS to split the report into rows or columns by its values.
Values The field is a number you can drop into VALUES to total it. The designer refuses anything else – a text field such as Item name dropped on VALUES is simply not added.

Note: A field marked – in every column can still be shown in a report, it just cannot be filtered, grouped or totalled. The field list only appears after the first Save of a new report – before that the definition shows just Name, DataSource and Report type.

Fields marked Yes in the Filter column appear on the report’s Filters tab. For the period values and controls there, see How to use report filters.


Raw transactions data

Every movement and change of stock – picks, returns, restocks, scrap, inventory counts, moves – plus the purchasing and service events, one row per transaction.

Common confusion

People often think… But actually…
Every field can be filtered on. Only the fields with Yes in the Filter column appear on the Filters tab.
Any field can go into VALUES. Only numeric fields marked Yes under Values. Dates and text are refused.
The same field name means the same thing in every source. Not always. Quantity is the moved quantity in Raw transactions data, the ordered quantity in Orders data and the stock quantity in Stock history data.
Currency and units show as symbols or abbreviations, such as € or pcs. Reports show the currency code, for example EUR, and the unit’s full name, for example pieces, boxes or kilograms. Filter on those values.
All data sources are live. Not quite. A new transaction reaches Raw transactions data within about a minute, not the moment it happens. Reports on current stock read live data.
A data source respects item and device restrictions. Reporting data is not limited by restrictions on items, vendors, devices or stocks. Restrict who can open the report instead.
Lot numbers cannot be reported on. Lot number is a field in Raw transactions data and Stock locations data. You can show it and group by it, but not filter on it.
