Inventory Analysis report

Learn about transactions that changed the quantity and value of inventory items, including which orders originated from each warehouse and the status, date, and amount of each order. Use this report to analyze orders processed, order volumes, or pricing.

This report does not show the results of transactions saved as drafts. In other words, the system does not change the inventory status until you post the transaction.

  1. Go to Inventory Control > All > Reports > Inventory > Analysis.

  2. Select the reporting period from the dropdown list, or enter the start and end dates you want the report to cover. If you don't specify a reporting period, Sage Intacct generates a report for the current month to date. You can set either the reporting period or the start and end dates, but not both.

    For more details on reporting periods, see Time period.

  3. To view all results for the default reporting period, select View.

    You can run this report without entering any filters; however, the report could take a long time to run and may return too many results to be useful.

  4. To include or exclude specific types of data in the report, set filters such as item, UPC, warehouse, product line. As a general rule, to get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.
  5. If you're reporting in a multi-entity environment, you can also set location and department filters.
  6. Format options vary from report to report. Generally, you can set the layout of the report and arrange how to group and display the data contained in the report.
  7. Add title, subtitle, or footer text to your report.
  8. To view, process, memorize, export, or customize the report or add it to the dashboard, select one of the following options:

    • View: View the report now, in your browser.
    • Print: Display the report now, in printable PDF format.
    • Process & store: Generate the report and store it for later access. Reports can be either stored in the My Stored Reports list or delivered to a cloud storage location, such as Dropbox. Learn more about processing and storing reports.
    • Add to dashboard: Add the report to your dashboard.
    • Memorize: Memorize (that is, save) the report so that later you can refer back to it or modify and re-run it.

      You can schedule memorized reports to run on a recurring basis. Intacct can automatically email the reports or deliver them to a cloud storage location.

    • Export: Export the report to a separate file that you can then distribute or save to your local drive. File formats to which you can export the report data vary among reports.
    • Customize: After you run the report, return to the main report page and refine the report further.
    • Email: After you run the report, email to others.

    Some options are only available if you access the report from the Reports center.

You can use trial-and-error to get the precise results you want. Just fill in the desired fields, and select View to see the report. If the results aren't what you want, select Customize to return to the report setup page and refine the report further. Repeat this process until you're satisfied.

For complex financial reports that will be run regularly, save the report after you're done setting it up. The next time you're ready to run the report, you only have to change the As of date before running the report.

Time period

You can use one of the pre-defned reporting periods available from the Reporting period and As of date fields, or create your own reporting period using the Start date and End date fields.

Report filters

Use filters to focus the results of your report, to isolate and assemble just the data you want. You can set any combination of filters.

Location and department filters

These filter options appear only if you work in a multi-entity environment.

Formatting

Use the options in this section to select some of the report details to display and to order the report results.

Titles, subtitles, and footers apply only to the print versions of this report. Export to Excel or CSV, or select Print for a PDF version.
