Inventory Transactions

Use this option to generate listings of individual Warehouse Inventory database transactions. You can choose from two different types of reports: 

Detail

Covers individual stock item transactions such as requests, back orders, returns, and inventory adjustments. The Detail report shows the effects selected transactions had on related Inventory Catalog records in terms of quantity available, quantity reserved, and quantity back ordered. The report is organized based on the combination of Warehouse Code, Stock Number, and Fiscal Year.

Summary

Covers inventory level changes for selected stock items within a fiscal year. The Summary report shows the year-to-date quantities purchased, issued, adjusted, and returned to stock for the transactions and catalog records you select. It also includes the total monetary value for each item's available inventory.

For additional information on transaction records, refer to Inventory Transactions Page.

Leave the field blank to select records from all warehouses.
