Displaying the Open Items of the One-Time Vendor 

Use

The next part of the scenario shows you how to drill down to the line items from your account monthly balances. You then change the standard screen layout so it better accommodates the analysis of one-time vendors. Finally, you manipulate the data to determine if you have had repeat business with any of your vendors that you have classified as one-time.
