About Available Reports

Administrators and managers will want to run various reports to determine contract efficiency, and help improve it. Contract Management provides reports on the following topics:

• Contract compliance

• Item cost variance

• Off contract purchasing

• Rebates by due date

• Projected rebate distributions

• Contract rebate activity

• Contract tier detail

• Buyer Contracts by Expiration Date

These reports are made possible through a component of Lawson Business Intelligence (LBI), called Reporting Services, and the Crystal Report Designer. Reporting Services is a reporting repository for secure report delivery. Specifically, the LBI administrator must assign permission to those users who are allowed to access each individual report. Without such permission, a user cannot see or run a report.

For information on assigning permissions, see the Reporting Services Administrator and User Guide.
