Item & Cost offers a variety of reports to meet your business needs. Reports can be displayed in a window on your computer, e-mailed to you as an attachment, or downloaded directly to your hard drive. Reports provide snapshots of your item and price data. You can report on past, current, and future information, and select just the retailers, cost zones, or promotions that you need.

Use this function to see if a report has completed.
Although most reports are delivered to you as an e-mail attachment, options are available to hold your report for manual downloading (see below). This function is used to download a report directly to your computer’s hard drive using File Registry.
Reports can be delivered to you in three ways:
E-mail Attachment
The report is sent to you as an e-mail attachment.
E-mail Notification
You can be notified by e-mail that the report has been placed on our File Registry system for you to download.
File Registry
The report can simply be held in File Registry for later downloading, without an e-mail notification. You must manually check to see if the report file has generated. Once it is complete, you can download it.
Many people choose e-mail attachment as the most convenient way to receive their reports.
You can select the output format of your reports. The options available are comma separated (CSV) or RTF (Rich Text Format).
Selecting comma separated will generate a report you can open in a spreadsheet.
RTF reports are opened with word processing software.
Some reports can be displayed in your window by clicking a Display link. This option is not available for all reports.
