Reporting & Exports
Products & Services puts most of its numbers on the working screens. The Items list shows counts and stock value at a glance, the usage chart tracks consumption over time, the Valuation report breaks value down by category and location, and CSV exports take the raw data into a spreadsheet for anything deeper.
At-a-Glance Metrics
The view tabs at the top of the Items list carry the counts, and the end of the tab row carries the stock value. All of them follow your search and filters.
| Figure | Shows | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| All items count | Items that match your search and filters | Catalog size, or the size of one category or type |
| Low stock count | Materials at or below their reorder point | Reorder planning |
| Below zero count | Materials with a negative quantity | Cleanup before a stock count |
| On order count | Materials with units on a sent purchase order | What is already coming |
| Stock value | Quantity times unit cost for the materials in view | Capital tied up in inventory |
Below-zero items count as $0 in the stock value until you reconcile them, so a stock value that looks low can be a sign to clear the below-zero items first. The Below zero tab shows how many there are and what their negative quantities add up to.
Usage Chart
The Inventory Usage chart below the Items list plots material consumption over a date range you choose. It shows when you view all items or all materials with no view, search, or filter on. It is the fastest way to see which periods drove the most usage and to sanity-check reorder points against real demand.
Low Stock
The Low stock view on the Items list shows every material at or below its reorder point. Add the Reorder at column with Columns to see each quantity against its reorder point. Reorder in a row's menu starts a purchase order with the quantity that clears Low.
Valuation Report
Click Valuation at the top of the Items list (under More on a narrower window) to open the Inventory Valuation report. It shows Total Items, Total Cost Value, and Total Retail Value, then the value by category, the value by location, and an Item Details table you can sort. The report has its own Export CSV.
Cost and Retail
Unit cost drives the value figures on the list and the value column on each row. While you edit an item, a button beside Retail Price works out the price from the unit cost and the markup, so you can price consistently across the catalog.
Exporting Data
CSV export is the path to custom analysis. Two exports cover most needs.
| Export | Where | Contains |
|---|---|---|
| Items | Export CSV at the top of the Items list (under More on a narrower window) | Every item in the current view, search, and filters, with name, SKU, category, location, quantity, unit, unit cost, reorder point, and description |
| Valuation | Export CSV on the Valuation report | Each item's quantity, unit cost, total cost, retail price, total retail, and location |
| Transactions | Export CSV on the Transactions tab | The filtered transaction log for a period or type |
Step-by-Step: Export for Analysis
- Open the Items list or the Transactions tab
- Apply the filters you want (category, type, date range)
- Click Export CSV
- Open the file in your spreadsheet tool
Because exports respect the active filters, you can narrow to one category or one month first and export exactly that slice rather than the whole catalog.
Using the Data for Decisions
| Decision | Where to look |
|---|---|
| What to reorder | The Low stock view, and Reorder in each row's menu |
| How much to order | Usage chart and recent usage in the New PO flow |
| Where value is concentrated | The Valuation report, and the stock value on the Items list filtered by category |
| Pricing adjustments | Unit cost trends in the transaction export |
Troubleshooting
Numbers look off?
- Confirm unit costs are current
- Fix the items in the Below zero view so they stop reading as $0
Export not downloading?
- Check your browser's popup or download blocker
- Narrow the filters to reduce the export size
