Currently some of the standard system reports, for example Gross Margin By Customer, only support filtering to a specific date range by entering a date range to the "Records to Include" filter prior to running the report. This prevents using recurring batch functionality, as there is no mechanism to specify a new date interval on the Recurrence.

A better method would be to move the date range selection to the report Parameters and support selection of a Date Interval definition there. This would allow the date range to dynamically update every time a recurring report is run, for example a report that is run routinely on the first day of the work week or the first day of a month.
