You use this program to generate a report indicating the value of stock held in each warehouse and (optionally) in each bin location.
This value can be based on either the current cost, the last cost, or FIFO costs.
Field | Description | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Valuation at: | Indicate whether you want to print valuations as of the current month, previous month 1 or previous month 2. | ||||
Sequence | Indicate the sequence in which you want to print the report (i.e. stock code, description, supplier or product class). | ||||
Report type |
|
||||
Detail | Prints a detailed report that includes a cost breakdown by bin location. | ||||
Summary | Prints a summary report that indicates the total value held in each warehouse. | ||||
Valuation cost based on |
|
||||
Current | This values your inventory at the unit cost currently
held against the warehouse (Warehouses for Stock Code).
If your costing method is FIFO then the unit cost is the average cost of the FIFO buckets (as different costs can exist in different FIFO buckets). |
||||
FIFO/LIFO | This values your inventory according to the FIFO/LIFO
costs held in each FIFO/LIFO bucket. The value of the bucket is established by multiplying stock in the bucket by the cost held within the bucket. The value of all buckets on hand is accumulated to give the total value for that warehouse's stock code. The wording of the field is based on whether you selected FIFO or LIFO at the Costing method setup option (Inventory Setup). |
||||
Last cost | This values your inventory according to the last cost that was entered when you processed a receipt of the item into stock. | ||||
Warehouse cost |
This values your inventory according to the costing method defined against the warehouse, and can only be selected if you enabled the Costing per warehouse setup option (Inventory Setup). |
||||
Print warehouses with zero value |
To print warehouses with a zero quantity only, select this option together with the option: Print warehouses with zero quantity and non-zero cost. To print only warehouses with a zero cost, deselect this option and select the option: Print warehouses with quantity on hand and zero cost. |
||||
No | Excludes warehouses with a zero value. Warehouses can have a zero value due to the cost or the quantity or both being zero. |
||||
Yes | Includes warehouses with a zero value. Warehouses can have a zero value due to the cost or the quantity or both being zero. Select this option if you want to print warehouses where both the cost and the quantity are zero, or where either the cost or the quantity are zero. |
||||
Warehouses with qty on hand and zero cost |
Includes stock items with a non-zero quantity on hand, but with a zero unit cost in the report. This does not change the total inventory value for the warehouse. (The total value for the warehouse is calculated as the cost multiplied by the quantity for each stock item in the warehouse). Select this option if you want to print these items even though they do not affect the total inventory value for the warehouse(s) you selected. |
||||
Warehouses with zero qty and non-zero cost |
Includes stock items with a zero quantity on hand, but with a unit cost value. This does not change the total inventory value for the warehouse. (The total value for the warehouse is calculated as the cost multiplied by the quantity for each stock item in the warehouse). Select this option if you want to print these items even though they do not affect the total inventory value for the warehouse(s) you selected. |
||||
Multiple bins option | |||||
Multiple bins - print totals only | Excludes totals for each individual bin for the stock
item on the report. If a default bin is defined against the stock item, then the default bin number is listed on the report together with one total for the quantity on hand and one total value for all the bins. If no default bin is defined, then the total quantity and value are printed, but no bin number is listed. If you do not select this option, then the bin number, quantity on hand and value for each bin defined against the stock item is printed on the report. The total quantity and value are also printed. This only applies if Multiple bins are required for the company (Inventory Setup) or the warehouse(s) you selected to include in the report (Warehouse Maintenance). |
||||
Include zero bins | Prints details of bins with a zero quantity on the report. | ||||
Check warehouse for negative value |
If you select this option then, if the total on hand in the warehouse is negative, the total value of bins is zero for the stock code/warehouse total. If you do not select this option, then the total value of the bins for a warehouse includes only the total of any positive bins. This option only applies if:
|
Field | Description |
---|---|
Print ECC items only | These options are disabled if you indicated that your valuation costs were based on FIFO. |
Print quantity on hand by Rel/Rev | Prints only the on hand quantities of ECC-controlled items, per revision and/or release per warehouse. |
Print zero quantity Rel/Rev |
Includes ECC items with a zero on hand quantity. |
These options enable you to apply a theme to the report and to define multiple output destinations for the report once it has been compiled (SRS Output Options).
Negative inventory values are displayed only if the Negative quantity on hand to be included in Inventory Valuation option is enabled (Inventory Setup). This decreases the total value of inventory.
The Stock code total is not printed for each item when you generate the report for a single warehouse.
Report fields | Notes and considerations |
---|---|
Last Receipt date | Only printed if you have enabled the Multiple bins setup option (Inventory Setup). |
Last Issue date | Only printed if you have enabled the Multiple bins setup option (Inventory Setup). |
Total Mass | Only printed if you have enabled the
Multiple bins setup option (Inventory Setup). The value reflected for this column is calculated by multiplying the warehouse quantity on hand of the item by the mass per stocking unit configured for the item. To obtain meaningful values, ensure that the unit of measure configured for each item is in the appropriate weight. |
Report values |
If you generate the report for the same stock items in the same warehouses using Current cost and then using FIFO cost, then the report values will differ if any issues, adjustments or transactions between receipt transactions were processed. If only receipt transactions were processed on the stock item, then the Current and FIFO values should be the same. This is because the Current Warehouse Cost field is only updated when a receipt transaction is processed. |
Quantity on hand | If you are using multiple bins, then there are two
options for printing the quantity on hand. If you select the Multiple bins - print totals only option, then the quantity is taken from the warehouse. Otherwise the quantity is taken from each individual bin and totalled. The mass is always calculated from the stock warehouse as it is defined at stock code level, not at bin level. |
When the report is processed for all stock items and all warehouses and your Inventory module is linked to the General Ledger, then the current inventory value total on the report should equal the total of the Inventory control account(s) in your General Ledger.
If this is not the case, then you can check the following:
If the Create GL journal option is not selected for Inventory (General Ledger Integration) then run the Inventory GL Integration program to ensure that all the General Ledger journals for transactions processed are created.
If the Post GL journal option is not selected for Inventory (General Ledger Integration) then use the GL Journal Entry program to post the journals into the General Ledger.
