Report Naming Conventions

The reports delivered with PeopleSoft applications are identified by a seven- or eight-character code, for example, AMV2060.XNV or APC1030.RPT. Each report name is broken down into the following parts:

· The first two letters of the code identify the PeopleSoft product:

Abbreviation	PeopleSoft Product
AM	Asset Management
AP	Accounts Payable
AR	Accounts Receivable
BD	Budgets
BI	Billing
GL	General Ledger
GM	Grants
IN	Inventory
PC	Projects
PO	Purchasing

· The third letter in the report name denotes the reporting application in which the report was created:

V	PS/nVision
C	Crystal Reports
S	SQR
Q	PeopleSoft Query

· Following the first three letters in the report name are four numbers, the first two of which reflect the functional area:

00	Basic reports
10	Business unit and ledger reports
20	Consolidation reports
30	Inquiry reports
40	Table reports
50	Multicurrency reports
60	Allocations reports
70	Journal entry processing reports for Crystal Reports and Query Reports only, a hyphen follows the four numbers.

· The three-character file extension at the end of a report name can help you identify the application that created the report and, in several cases, the format of the report:

.XNV	PS/nVision-Layout
.XLS	PS/nVision-Instance
.RPT	Crystal Reports-Layout
.EXE	Crystal Reports-Compiled
.CRF	Crystal Reports-To File
.SQR	SQR (Structured Query Reports)
