Report on stock items
Option Description
All stock items Select this to generate a selective list of stock codes, regardless of the amount of activity recorded against them.
Any monthly activity Select this to generate a selective list of stock codes against which any month-to-date activity has been recorded.
Inactive stock items Select this to generate a selective list of stock items against which no activity has been recorded since a specified cut-off date.

The program checks if the last Sale date or last Issue date against the stock warehouse record is after the No activity since date entered and if it is, then the warehouse is ignored.

If you selected Include stock adjustments, then the program also checks the INVMOV file to ascertain when last an adjustment was processed. If an adjustment is processed after the No activity since date, then the warehouse is ignored.

No activity since Indicate the cut-off date according to which stock items must be selected for generating. Stock items are selected if there has been no activity since this date.
[Note]

This option is only enabled when you select the option: Inactive stock items.

Include zero quantity on hand Select this if you want to include stock items where the warehouse quantity on hand is zero.
Include stock adjustments Select this to indicate whether you want to include inactive stock against which adjustments have been processed.

This option is not available if you selected the option: All stock items.

Show all warehouses Select this to list all warehouses in which the stock item resides, if at least one warehouse matches your selection criteria (i.e. warehouses that do not match the selection criteria, but in which the stock item is held, are also listed).

Do not select this option if you only want to list warehouses in which a stock item resides that matches the selection criteria.

[Note]

This option does not override your Warehouse selection (Report Filters tab). Stock items are listed only for the warehouses you indicated at the Warehouse selection option.
