The filter options may vary, but some of the common options are business partners, with the choice of customer or Delivery selection criteria, where a date or period can be specified for the open items, and the account type, where the choice between open items for customers (accounts receivable) or suppliers (vendors). After defining the desired filter options, the report can be generated by clicking on the "Execute" button.

By using the "Open items" report, a list of open items is displayed based on the previously defined filters. This report can be analysed to gain insights into the open items and take appropriate action.
