Custom Report Builder & Automated Schedules
Tailor enterprise reporting to your exact business metrics. Build SQL-backed operational reports, select and reorder visible columns, apply multi-dimensional filters, and schedule automated PDF/Excel email delivery to executives and auditors on a recurring cron schedule.
1. Module Overview: Why Custom Reporting?
Every distributor, hospital, and retailer tracks different KPIs. Rather than exporting raw data to Excel for manual VLOOKUPs, Katixo's Custom Report Builder lets users design and save bespoke report views:
Dynamic Column Sets
Pick, reorder, and hide columns to generate clean, executive-ready tables without clutter.
Granular Filters
Slice and dice by date ranges, customer groups, sales reps, warehouses, and tax categories.
Automated Email Cron
Dispatches daily sales or weekly stock audit summaries to management inboxes automatically at 8:00 AM.
2. How to Build a Custom Report (Step-by-Step)
- 1Go to Reports > Custom Reports > "Create Custom Report":Select the base dataset: Sales Register, Purchase Register, Stock Summary, Van Settlement, or Day Book.
- 2Select & Reorder Columns:Use the column picker to toggle fields (e.g. Invoice Number, Date, Customer Name, HSN Code, Taxable Value, CGST, SGST, Total Amount). Drag to reorder.
- 3Configure Filters:Set criteria like Date Range (Current Month), Payment Status (Unpaid & Overdue), or Customer Territory (Pune North).
- 4Save & Share:Name your report (e.g. "Monthly Overdue AR > ₹50,000"). Choose whether it is private to your user account or public to all accountants.
3. Scheduling Automated Email Reports
Set up headless automated report delivery so leadership always has fresh numbers without logging in:
• Frequency: Choose Daily, Weekly (e.g. every Monday), or Monthly (e.g. 1st of month).
• Dispatch Time: Set time of delivery (e.g. 08:30 AM).
• Recipients: Enter comma-separated email addresses of founders, CFOs, or external auditors.
• Attachment: Reports arrive formatted in both PDF and Excel formats ready for review.
