Just press the key corresponding to the first letter of the menu item you want and AuctionMan/TENDER will take you straight to that screen. But that's not all; it will even remember the last item (vendor, buyer, tender, form, lot/item, etc.) accessed and load it for you. | |
) Reports Menu I |
Functions are grouped logically according to the "before", "during" and "after" stages of tender sale processing. | |
) Reports Menu II |

New reporting options are added periodically as requested by users. |
