characteristics to the report columns. In the example below we are adding the following
free Characteristics (note: Users can add any of the available free characteristic they would
like to their report)
a. Vendor Payment Terms
b. Accounting Doc Number
c. Reference Number
d. Document Date
e. Posting Date
f. Document Currency
g. Document Payment Terms
h. Payment Block Status
This is done by highlighting each required free characteristic and dragging it over to the
report to the desired column location (tip: must be before the Balance column and after
the Vendor column). See the result below

After adding all the new columns you need to tidy the format.
Some free characteristics have both a Text and Key columns. See example for Document
Currency below

Change the display to Key or Text (which ever is required) and hit OK

Once you are happy with all of the columns, the next step is to remove the unwanted
subtotals (ie Results). In this example we only want subtotals for the Vendor
Characteristic. To remove the unwanted subtotals right click on each of the column
headings which have unwanted subtotals and select

Change Display results to Never and hit OK

After completing this formatting the report will look similar to the below screenshot
