Viewing Inventory Change Logs

Accessing Detailed Inventory Change Logs 

If you need in-depth insights into your inventory, navigate to the "Inventory" section and then select "Change log." This change log provides a comprehensive ledger of all inventory transactions, organized chronologically from newest to oldest.

Understanding Inventory Transactions

Each entry in the changelog details a specific inventory transaction. For example, an entry might show a SKU for a "Deluxe Snowboard," indicating that the quantity on hand decreased from 997 to 996 due to a shipment.

Reasons for Inventory Changes

The change log captures various reasons for inventory adjustments. These reasons include:

• Manual Adjustments: An entry might indicate that someone manually changed the inventory count.

• Transfers: Inventory might be transferred between locations.

• Cycle Counts: Regular inventory counts might identify discrepancies and lead to adjustments.

• Shipments: Outgoing orders will reduce inventory levels.

• Receipts: Incoming shipments will increase inventory levels.

Filtering and Sorting

You can filter and sort inventory transactions based on:

• Change Type: View only increases, decreases, receipts, or manual adjustments.

• Date Range: Specify a time frame (e.g., from December 1 to yesterday).

• SKU: Track the inventory history for a specific product (e.g., Deluxe Snowboard).

Determining Inventory Levels on a Specific Date

To find the inventory level at the end of a specific day:

1. Filter the log by date.

2. Review the New On Hand column—this shows the count after each transaction.

End-of-Period Reporting

This feature is particularly valuable for end-of-quarter or end-of-year inventory reporting. You can export the filtered change log data and use it for further analysis or integration with other systems.
