Use this option to generate a report for determining whether to discontinue stock items or remove them from your inventory entirely. The report shows you whether selected items are marked in your database as discontinued. It also provides information from the Inventory Catalog regarding the stock items' availability and transaction activity.
Specifically, the report shows the following data for each item you select:
|
Warehouse Code |
Last Date Issued |
YTD Units Issued |
|
Stock Number |
Available Units |
Prior Year Units Issued |
|
Item Description |
YTD Units Received |
Units Issued Two Years Ago |
|
Discontinued |
|
|
The report generated shows records from all warehouses where the selected stock items are stored. Page breaks are included for each warehouse location.
You can specify the items to include in the report based on three fields: Last Issue Date, Stock Number, and Discontinued. The last of these refers to the Discontinued checkbox in an item's Inventory Catalog record. In this field in the report page, you can select from the following options:
|
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. |
