I need to make a Troop Advancement Report. I tried using [https://advancements.scouting.org/](https://advancements.scouting.org/), but at the bottom of the Advancement Report, it says: _We are in the process of migrating the advancement report/PO process from Scoutbook to Scoutbook Plus._ _During this migration, please go to **[http://scoutbook.scouting.org](http://scoutbook.scouting.org/)**._ _1: Choose your respective unit2: Click “ **Pack** ”/“ **Troop** ”/“ **Crew** ”/“ **Ship** ”/“ **Post** ” Reports3: Click **“Needs Purchasing Report”** _ So, now if I go to [scoutbook.scouting.org](http://scoutbook.scouting.org) and try to run a Needs Purchasing report, the website just returns me to my dashboard… How am I supposed to create an Advancement Report? ---

You probably need to run Needs Approval first @WallisLarkins . Does the Needs Purchasing have a “#” beside it - that means items are in it ![Screenshot 2024-09-12 at 2.38.26 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/b/b/bb6e0eb026969017b4599fa95e3960c4b5629830.png) ---

@WallisLarkins It looks like your troop just added your Unit Advancement Chair functional role at my.Scouting today. You will need to wait for an overnight process to run and you should be able to access the reports tomorrow. Alternatively, you can ask your troop to restore your Troop Admin role in Scoutbook, and it should be immediately effective. ---

OK thanks for the information. Indeed my credentials as advancement chair were accidentally removed by some recent troop maintenance. After that was restored, it worked. It may be good give result feedback when failed reports occur. A message saying, “You don’t have account permissions to generate an advancement report” would be better than it silently failing and navigating to my dashboard. ---
