The delivered version of TabWare includes a number of standard reports for daily use, such as work orders, purchase orders, and requests for quotation. Your system administrator has the option of implementing non-standard formats for work orders, purchase orders, and RFQs. This can include the use of a custom format produced through special programming or, for work orders and purchase orders, a special format can be implemented by using Crystal Reports software. Ask your system administrator about custom prints available at your location.
