- Distributors: Only displayed if your organization is the manufacturer. Click the hamburger icon to select one or more distributors to only display transactions where the specified distributor(s) were involved. If left as None, the report results will include all distributors.
- End-customers: Click the hamburger icon to select one or more customers to only display transactions where the specified end-customer(s) were involved. If left as None, the report results will include all end-customers.
- Date from: Select a date to only display transactions dated on or after the selected date.
- Date to: Select a date to only display transactions dated on or before the selected date.

- Special pricing agreement: Type to search by SPA Reference or Agreement name, and click to select one or more SPA to filters transactions displayed to those that are matched to the selected agreement(s). When one or more SPA is selected here, the Show unmatched transactions field is disabled.

Options available to select from are Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Annual, or None. If set to None, the report results will display by individual transaction line rather than grouping transaction lines by day, week, month, quarter, or year.
