I am on a quest to STREAMLINE as much in-house processes as possible by year-end.  I would like to hear from my fellow DBA/Evo-ERPers as to whether or not you print out (and keep) the reports in GL-O.  I wonder if they waste more time (printing, filing, etc.) then add value.  If you keep them, how do you use/audit/etc. them?
 
In addition to streamlining, I am created "standardized work/input instructions" to bridge the gap between DBA and how our company uses it.  Most recently was how to verify the information for PR-L-G.  These instructions are basic (very basic) and to the point with big pictures and take into count pre-tax deductions, etc.  I am willing to share this info if anyone is interested.  AND, I would be interested in seeing how other companies bridge the gap as well.

We print the GL-O reports to a PDF file using a freeware program call CutePDF and store on server by month.  No wasting paper, files are small and disk space is less expensive than warehouse space for hardcopies.

I use to print the reports, but it is a waste of paper as adhoc inquiries will accomplish the same thing for inquiring, and the same information is available from printing out the respective GL Journals - i.e. Purchases, Work Orders, Cash Receipts, Cash Disbursements, Other.  Currently, I just review all daily batches BEFORE POSTING for certain paramenters, and then post the daily batches. At month end, I print out Cash Receipts and Cash Disbursements Journals for monthly audit trail purposes, but found the benefit of having the Work Order and Purchases Journal is not enought to warrant the paper it takes to print.  Perhaps, because I am the accountant.    Also, if you print out a monthly GL Ledger, all information from GL-O is also encaptured there.
