Checkbook Register is too slow.

Reports->Financial->Checkbook->Checkbook Register takes forever for the report to print.

Inquiry->Financial->Checkbook Register and specifying the same dates and the same checkbook prints immediately.

Both print the checkbook register so why one is so much slower that the other is a mystery.

    Hi Richard,

    New historical tables were added to Bank Rec in GP 2016.  So, the process on how the checkbook register prints was redesigned and loads a temp table, and loads all checkbooks, so can take a long time now.

    You are correct it does print faster from Checkbook Inquiry. The more checkbook ID's, and the larger the CM tables are, will make it take longer, but will eventually finish.

    Seems like Performance is better if some data has been moved to history.  The new CM20200/CM20300 tables should not be empty. (Tools | Routines | Financial | Reconciled Transaction Maintenance.)

    Many users have also switched to using a Smartlist instead.  But if using the Checkbook INQUIRY window, it will go faster too.  

    If using the REPORTS menu, we just have to wait as it is working by design now.

    Hope the information provided is helpful!

    Kind Regards,

    Roderick

    Roderick, you used the dreaded phrase "Working as Designed"

    Thanks for this explanation. I was wondering why a temp table was inserted into this report.  The client was none to happy when I explained this to them. Old habits are hard to break.
