Inventory Reports help you understand usage, turnover, costs, and profitability. Use them to improve ordering and reduce waste.

​
Overview

  • Usage report – How much of each item was used
  • Turnover report – How fast items move
  • COGS report – Cost of goods sold
  • Profit and loss – Revenue vs cost

  • Batch reports – Production, consumption, expected vs actual, waste, COGS

​
Prerequisites
