[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Report question: Need detailed cash report by workstation or org unit

I have a similar report that runs for us, I had the same problems trying to
get the Source Payments:All to give me what I wanted.  I finally switched to
using Payments:Desk which allowed me to limit by workstation. I then limited
it by Cash Drawer: Owing Library: Org Unit 

Then is Display fields, I have Cash Drawer: Owing Library: Short (Policy)
Name.

 

The only limitation I found is it does not include Forgive, work, voids, and
goods payments. As I was looking for the transactions that came across our
Circulation desk this limitation did not matter.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Report question: Need detailed cash report by
workstation or org unit

 

I'm hoping some of you report experts out there can help me with this
request...

 

One of our library systems needs a detailed cash report to send to their
accountant, which contains all the transactions and what they were for by
workstation or library (there are 3 branches).  They noticed, in the report
template we created, that the amount didn't match the summary report they
got from Admin--Local Admin--Cash Reports.  We discovered that it was
because one of the base filters was Home Library--but it was the patron's
home library, so was including the amount when they paid it at one of the
other branches.  What the library really needs is a filter and displayed
field on either Workstation or Org Unit, so they can arrange on those, but I
can't, for the life of me, figure out how to do that.  

 

Currently, the report uses Source as Payments: All.  

It displays Payment Date/Time, Name, Cash Amount, Check Amount, Credit Card
Amount, Forgive Amount, and Barcode (patron). 

Base filters currently are Payment Date/Time and Home Library

 

I tried using Billable Transactions-->User::workstation ID or workstation
org unit and tried using Accepting Staff Member::workstation ID or
workstation org unit, but those didn't work, either.  There was no data
entry field or list on the template when I tried those (probably because
they're "link"?).

 

Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Debbie
