Reports

Overview

The Reports module brings together ActivoHQ's formal reports: the Asset register, the period's depreciation, the roll-forward for the year, disposals with their gain or loss, Journal batches, RFID audit variance, asset whereabouts, and the expiry of licenses, Warranties and policies.

Every report renders on screen: it is produced instantly with your company's print layout and displayed inside the page. There is no need to produce a PDF just to read the content; print or save as PDF from the viewer itself when you need to.


How to get there

In the main menu, the Reports section holds every report:

Key concepts

Term Definition
On-screen view The report is built on the server with the print layout and shown inside the page. No file is downloaded to read it.
Active company Every report is filtered by the company selected in the top bar. There is no company picker inside each report.
Query period The From / To range limiting the records included. It only applies to movement reports.
Within (days) The expiry horizon on the warranty and policy reports.
Net Book Value (NBV) Acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation, plus revaluation adjustments.
Opening / Closing NBV Book value at the start and at the close of the period queried.
Journal batch The grouping of entries produced by a depreciation run, for export to the Accounting system.
Count Session The record of an RFID physical count. The variance compares the read against the expected inventory.

How to use a report

The procedure is the same on every on-screen report:

  1. Open the report from the Reports menu.
  2. Complete whatever parameters the screen shows (a date range, a count session or a horizon in days). If the report has no parameters, go to the next step.
  3. Click View Report. While it is built, the button reads Generating....
  4. The report appears below, with your company's print layout (its logo, currency and configured regional format).
  5. To refresh it with different parameters, change them and click the refresh action.
  6. To print it or save it as PDF, use your browser's print function on the displayed report.

Available reports

Asset Whereabouts

A table query screen - not an on-screen report - showing where each asset is and who has it.

  • Columns: Code, Name, current Location, Custodian, Holder, Availability (Available or Checked Out) and Status (Draft, Active, Fully Depreciated, Disposed or Retired).
  • Availability and Status are filtered by name.
  • The Whereabouts PDF button produces the printable document with the same content.

Asset register

Every asset with its cost, accumulated depreciation and net book value for the active company. No parameters.

Depreciation Schedule

Depreciation per asset and period: opening NBV, the period's depreciation, closing NBV and accumulated.

  • Parameters: From and To (defaulting to 1 January and 31 December of the current year).

Asset Roll-Forward

The period's reconciliation: opening NBV + additions - depreciation - disposals = closing NBV.

  • Parameters: From and To.

Disposals & Gain/Loss

Disposed Assets with their sale proceeds, book value and the resulting gain or loss.

  • Parameters: From and To.

Journal batches

The Accounting batches produced for export to CifraHQ.

  • Parameters: From and To.

RFID Audit Variance

The result of a physical count: tags found, missing and unexpected.

  • Parameter: Count Session, listing the active company's sessions newest to oldest.

Software licenses

A full license inventory: publisher, version, seats owned, used and available, purchase, expiry and maintenance-end dates, cost, renewal cost, support contact and compliance status. No parameters.

Warranties Expiring

Warranties approaching their expiry date - and those that expired recently - nearest first, with the days remaining.

  • Parameter: Within (days), starting at 90.

Insurance Policies Expiring

Policies coming up for renewal - and those that expired recently - with the days remaining and the Assets covered.

  • Parameter: Within (days), starting at 90.

Consumption by Cost Center

Which Consumables each cost center spent in the period, grouped by cost center and item, with quantity, cost and group totals. It is the report that answers "where did our supplies go?".

  • Parameters: From and To.
  • It only includes issues: a receipt or a transfer is not consumption.

Consumable stock

Stock by consumable and location with average cost, value and the position against the reorder point. No parameters.

Consumable movements

The detail of a period's consumable history: receipts, issues, adjustments and transfers. The audit trail in printable form.

  • Parameters: From and To.

Replenishment

Everything at or below its reorder point, with the suggested quantity to buy (reorder point less stock on hand) and its estimated cost. The storekeeper's shopping list. No parameters.

Depreciation What-If

A comparison of two depreciation scenarios and of leasing against buying. It is not a printed report; see Depreciation what-if simulator.

Format, language and layout

  • Amounts are presented in the currency and regional format configured on the company; dates use its time zone.
  • The logo and the company details come from Master > Companies.
  • Each report's layout can be customized under Settings > Report designer; reports with no customization use the built-in layout.
  • Reports are shown in the interface language.

Permissions

Reports are available to users with access to the module, as configured by your administrator. Reports only ever show the active company's data.


Notes

  • Reports are produced on the spot: they always reflect current data, with no scheduled jobs and no outbox.
  • A very large report can take a few seconds to build; the button stays at Generating... meanwhile.
  • The period is not limited to the fiscal year: you can query any date range.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Likely cause Resolution
The report comes out empty. There are no movements in the range queried, or the active company is not the one you expect. Widen the From / To range and check the company in the top selector.
The View Report button is disabled. A required parameter is missing (the count session, for example). Complete the parameter.
The amounts appear in another currency. The active company has a different base currency. Check the company's Settings under Master > Companies.
The report does not show the logo. The company has no logo uploaded. Upload it on the company record.
The layout is not what you expected. The report has a customized template. Check Settings > Report designer and, if appropriate, use Revert to default.
Depreciation does not match what was posted. There are runs for the period that have not been posted. Check the runs under Accounting > Depreciation runs.
