Creating and Printing Custom Production Reports

Production reports may take a long time to process the first time you preview a report. Subsequent production report processing will be much faster. The first time you run the production reports, select a time period that encompasses the date of the start of business and most current date.

Ensure that locations that are no longer active are marked as inactive in the Location Maintenance window. For more information about marking locations as inactive, go to Maintaining Locations for OfficeMate.

  1. Open the Reports & Statements window and click the Custom tab. For more information on opening this window, go to Opening the Reports & Statements Window.
  2. Select Production Reports from the Report Name list and click Open.

    The Custom Business Analysis Reports window opens.

  3. To open previously saved report settings, go to Loading Saved Custom Report Settings, and proceed to step 14.
  4. Select a report from the Report Type drop-down menu.
    • Production Report - Period Comparison. Lists sales, discounts, adjustments, returns, receipts, and applied payments grouped by production or financial groups.
    • Production Report - Location Comparison. Compares sales, discounts, adjustments, returns receipts, and applied payments between selected locations.
    • Production Report - Provider Comparison. Compares sales, discounts, adjustments, returns receipts, and applied payments between selected providers.
    • Production Report - Year-to-Year. Compares sales, discounts, adjustments, returns receipts, and applied payments during a selected period and year-to-date and compares to the same period one year prior and prior year-to-date.
    • Productivity Recap. Lists Charges, Adjustments, Receipts, or Applied Payments and Refunds for a selected period. Results can be grouped by location then provider or by provider then location.
    • Monthly Production Recap. Lists a summary of sales, discounts, adjustments, returns receipts, and applied payments by day.
  5. Select the level of detail that you want to display in the report from the Report Detail drop-down menu.
  6. Select the Resummarize check box to recalculate the totals as needed.

    Select the Resummarize check box only if you have noticed that the Production reports at the Summary and Product Group levels do not match the reports at the Patient and Product Detail levels. Selecting the Resummarize check box greatly lengthens the amount of time it takes to generate the report.

    By default, the Summary and Product Groups reports use the data that was summarized the last time the report ran as a starting point for its calculations. Using the previous summary rather than recalculating from the beginning of your recorded data saves time; however, due to irregularities, the reports may become inaccurate over time. Selecting the Resummarize check box corrects these irregularities.

  7. Select a date range for the transactions you want to include in the report:
    • Select a range from the Span drop-down menu and use the left and right arrows to advance the time period.

      OR

    • Enter beginning and ending dates in the date range fields.

    5. Select the Apply Adjustments and Applied Payments to Fee Slip Location check box to report adjustments and payments by fee slip location. For example, if a payment or adjustment is recorded in OfficeMate Administration, that payment will be applied to the location of the fee slip rather than to the administrative location.
    6. If you selected the Production Report - Year-to-Year Comparison report, select the Show Change as Percentage check box to include the percentage of change instead of the change in dollars, as needed.
    7. If you selected the Productivity Recap or Monthly Production Recap reports, select whether you want to run the report for deposits and receipts or by applied payments, indicate whether you want the report to list payments and adjustments by location, and select whether you want each group to start at the top of new page.
