Ranges
If you wish to limit the range of information for which you are searching, you will need to enter information in the following prompts. Any prompt that is not mentioned is best left blank.
- "Stock Group From:", If you want your report to start at a certain stock group, then enter the stock group to start the report here.
- "Stock Group To:", Enter the stock group to end the report at.
- "Stock Code From:", If you want your report to start at a certain stock code, then enter the first stock code to use.
- "Stock Code To:", If you want your report to end at a certain stock code, then enter the last stock code to use.
- "Supplier", Enter the supplier filter. All stock lines reported on the report will have this supplier attached to them.
- "Show Zero Levels", If you want to exclude all items with a zero stock level, set this to 'N'. This should be your standard setting.
- "Include Negative Values", Set this to 'Y'. You should include negative values in your stock valuation. While it is difficult to have negative quantities in stock (!), they will have an effect on the valuation of the stock and should be either included or corrected. For example, the wrong size of jacket may have been sold, leaving one more of a different size in stock. Unless you include the negative stock items, the stock will be over-valued.
Finally, the report can be produced in one of three methods. This controlled at "Report Type".
- Entering 'D' causes the report to use FIFO (first in first out) costing method to value the stock. You will see the actual entries that make up the stock quantity.
- Entering 'S' causes the report to search via Standard Costing method to value the stock. This method is quicker than the above option, and gives a shorter report.
- Entering 'Q' also causes the report to search Standard Costing method to value the stock. No report is compiled, just a valuation figure is given.
