Describe the characteristics of a detail report.

What will be an ideal response?


A detail report produces one or more lines of output for each record processed. Because it contains one or more lines for each record, a detail report can be quite lengthy. Consider, for example, a large auto parts business. If the firm stocks 3,000 parts, then the detail report would include 3,000 detail lines on approximately 50 printed pages. A user who wants to locate any part in short supply has to examine 3,000 detail lines to find the critical items. A better alternative might be an exception report.
