When you select DPU from the Start screen, the icon on the toolbar or the File menu, you will see the Where do you want to start? screen. Use this screen to choose what type of retrieval you want to make. After you select your starting point, you will see the first screen in the DPU Chart Builder. The chart builder guides you through all the detailed choices you can make to view your preferred chart. You can press the Finish button at any time to see the chart. If the builder needs more information, it will tell you.
The choice you make at this screen determines the breadth of the data you will retrieve. It gives you three ways to retrieve data.
Multi-Process, Multi-Part Number
One Process, Multi-Part Number
One Process, One Part Number
