Commonly accessed database views for Product Information

Those who utilize SAP Crystal Reports or Excel Queries may need to access information from the Acctivate Database. This KB outlines commonly accessed Database Views for Product information.

All bulleted points are the exact Database View names. It's recommend to use Views (rather than Tables) to access this information. 

Acctivate uses a 3rd party report software, Crystal Reports, to display all reports, forms, labels, and barcodes in the program. Crystal Reports in Acctivate is only available as a read-only form. To make report changes or customizations, there are a few options listed here. However, if you decide to use Crystal Reports to modify or design your own reports, please review our resources here.
