Adding or Updating a REPORTS Customer Option

The REPORTS class is used to indicate which optional reports the customer is to receive, and how often. (Enter W for weekly, M for Monthly, and Y for both.).

·         CMR809. Indicates whether the customer receives the Year-to-Date Maintenance Analysis report (W/M/Y).
