Within the Archive, users can export their Purchase Order data to a CSV report in a number of different ways.

To access these reports, first head over to Archive & Reporting.

Within the Doc Type field, click the dropdown and select Purchase Orders.

You will see a number of fields that you can use to filter your search by as much or little as you need. For example, if you want to find all Purchase Orders that contain a specific GL Code, you can use the dropdown field to select up to 20 currently active GL Codes in your account. Search within a certain PO Date range, for a Supplier or an exact Product Code.

Once you have selected the desired criteria, click the Search button to be sent to the Search Results tab.

If you want to export this data from Lightyear to a CSV you can either click Export Report to download the header information displayed in Panel 1.

Export Line Item Data

If you need Line Item detail of the Purchase Orders in Lightyear, this option will give you everything you need and more!

While in the Search tab, change the Report Type to Line Item Level, and fill in the Search Parameters as detailed above.

While in the Search Results tab, click the Export Report button and you will receive a CSV report. Depending on the amount of POs and line items in Lightyear, this may take up to a minute, but rest assured the download is in progress.
