Inventory Catalog Summary

Use this option to generate a report providing key quantity figures for selected Inventory Catalog records. The summary report shows a single row of data for each stock item you include. This allows you to quickly review the following stock measurements:

Quantity Available

Units in Stock

Unit Price/Average Cost

Quantity Requested

Units Back Ordered

Total Stock Value

After selecting a sort order and entering your criteria, you can choose to see either the Average Cost from the catalog or the Price that is applied to a stock item when it is included in a request.

The page's criteria fields reference fields in the Inventory Catalog. The Discontinued field, which is a checkbox in the catalog, lists the following options in the report page:

N-Active Items

Selects stock items that are not marked as discontinued. This excludes all discontinued items.

Y-Discontinued Items

Selects stock items marked as discontinued. This excludes all active items.

Blank

Selects records without considering the Discontinued setting. This includes both active and discontinued items.
