### Understanding Inventory Management Reports

You can generate inventory reports to review and analyze information about the inventory. The three categories of inventory reports are:

- Inventory status reports.

  Use these reports to review the status of the inventory by location, time period, and so on.

- Inventory analysis reports.

  Use these reports to review the profitability, turnover, demand, and so on, for the inventory.

- Inventory integrity reports.

  Use these reports to review discrepancies between item information and accounting information.

The Inventory Turn Report (R41116):

- Retrieves records from the F4111 table.

- Clears the existing workfile, rebuilds it, and accesses records to produce the report.

The system calculates beginning, ending, and average inventory as follows:

- Beginning inventory is the amount for all transactions prior to the first date that you specified in data selection.

- Ending inventory is the amount of the beginning inventory plus or minus the amount of the item ledger transactions for the period that you specified in the processing options.

- Usage is the amount of all the item ledger records that match the transaction family document types that you specify in the processing options for the report.

Data Selection

You must use this data sequence:

- Transaction date

- Branch/plant

- Item number - short

#### Reviewing the Customer/Distributor Balance Report

Select Container Management (G4118), Customer Distributor Balance.

The Customer/Distributor Balance report (R41182) reads the Container Deposit and Container Transaction tables and prints a report of the customer's or distributor's deposits and container transactions for a given period. The report includes the deposit balance for the customer or distributor and the deposit and refund amounts by layer. You can use the R41182 report as a statement of account activity to send to the customer or distributor.

You can run this program in proof or final mode. When you run it in final mode, the program updates the Container Deposit and Container Transaction tables.

The program prints transaction level or summary level invoice statements, depending on how you set up the preferences for the customer. The transaction level invoice statement displays the deposit charge or refund sales order lines for each container transaction recorded for the customer. The summary level invoice statement summarizes all transactions over a specified period for a single combination of branch/plant, customer, and item.

#### Reviewing the Container Reconciliations Report

Select Container Management (G4118), Container Reconciliations.

The Container Reconciliations Report (R41185) analyzes the transactions for each item with a line type for full containers, finds the cross-referenced empty containers for each of the full containers, and calculates the ending balance of containers in each branch. This report includes:

- Quantity delivered and returned for each container

- Quantity on hand by branch for each container

- Total quantity in the company for each container

- Grand total of all containers in the company

You can also set the appropriate processing option to print the totals for the company only.

You can run the R41185 program in proof or update mode. If you run the program in update mode, it creates records by item and branch/plant in the Container Reconciliation table. It also places a 1 in the reconciliation flag field in the Container Transaction table. The next time you run the Container Reconciliations program, it will not read these transactions.

Data Selection

The line type must equal the line type for full containers only.

#### Reviewing the Print Variance Detail Report

Select Inventory Count Alternatives (G4121), Cycle Variance Detail Print.

Alternatively, select Print Variance from the Form menu on the Work With Cycle Count Detail form.

You can print a report of the variances between the results of the cycle count and the inventory records to resolve discrepancies.

Data Selection

Use data selection to print a variance report for a specific cycle count.

#### R41403 — Processing Options for the Cycle Variance Print Detail Report

Quantity/Amount | Specify a number that identifies the amount that the system will add to the account balance of the associated account number. Enter credits with a minus sign (-) either before or after the amount.
Variance Comparison | Specify which variance to compare. Values are: 1: Compare the percent variance. 2: Compare the unit variance. (default)

#### Reviewing the Track/Trace Print Report

Select Lot Control (G4113), Trace/Track Print.

The Track/Trace Print Report (R41505) provides trace and track information, such as the level by which the system traces or tracks lots. You determine whether the report displays tracing or tracking information by using processing options for the report.

#### R41505 — Processing Options for the Track/Trace Print Report

Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.

Display

1. Enter Track/Trace | Specify which method the system uses to trace or track lot usage. If you trace the lot, the system traces from the time of shipment to the time of manufacture all of the items that made up the current item. If you track the item, the system determines all of the assemblies of which this item is to be a component from the time of manufacture to the time of shipment. Values are: Blank: Trace lot usage. 1: Track lot usage.
2. Mode | Specify the processing mode that the system uses to indicate when specific orders are being processed. Values are: 1: Use single level track or trace. The system displays only top level items that can be tracked or traced. 2: Use no intermediates. The system displays only top level items that cannot be tracked or traced. 3: Use multilevel track or trace. The system displays all items from all levels that can be tracked or traced. 4: Use multilevel indented track or trace. The system displays all items from all levels that can be tracked or traced and indents all of the levels based on their value.

#### Reviewing the Price Book Report

Select Inventory Reports (G41111), Price Book Report.

The Price Book report (R41510) lists the current prices for the inventory.

The system retrieves this information from these tables:

- F4106

- F4207

- F4208

#### R41510 — Processing Options for the Price Book Report

Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.

Display Value

Price Group | Specify a user-defined code from UDC table (40/PI) that identifies an inventory price group for an item. Inventory price groups have unique pricing structures that direct the system in incorporate discounts or markups on items on sales and purchase orders. The discounts or markups are based on the quantity, amount, or weight of the item ordered. When you assign a price group to an item, the item takes on the same pricing structure defined for the inventory price group. You must assign an inventory price group to the supplier or customer, as well as to the item. The system interactively calculates discounts and markups on sales orders and purchase orders.

#### Reviewing the Buying Guide Report

Select Inventory Reports (G41111), Buying Guide Report.

The Buying Guide report (R4152) lists product and item performance information.

#### R4152 — Processing Options for the Buying Guide Report

Lot Options

1. Display Percent of Life Remaining | Specify whether to displays the Percent of Life Remaining field. If you leave this processing option blank, the system does not display a value in this field.
2. Percent of Life Remaining Threshold | Specify a value (expressed as a percentage) that the system uses as a threshold for determining which lots to display. If the percentage of life that remains for a lot is less than or equal to the value in this field, then the system displays the lot.
3. Display Number of Days Remaining | Specify whether to display the number of days remaining. If you leave this processing option blank, the system does not display the number of days remaining for a lot.
4. Number of Days Remaining Threshold | Specify a value that the system uses to determine which lots to display. If the number of days remaining in the life of a lot is less than or equal to the value in this field, the system displays the lot.
5. Calculation Date | Specify the date the system uses to calculate the remaining number of days until the lot expires.

#### Reviewing the Item Ledger/Account Integrity Report

Select Inventory Reports (G41111), Item Ledger/Account Integrity Report.

The Item Ledger/Account Integrity report (R41543) displays these types of discrepancies between the F4111 and F0911 tables:

- Item ledger detail records exist with no corresponding general ledger detail records.

- Item ledger does not balance with the corresponding general ledger detail.

The report displays summary lines that represent specific totals by:

- Document type

- Document number

- Key company

The report also displays the solutions to the discrepancies. A blank report indicates that no discrepancies exist. You can run this report as many times as needed because no tables are updated.

If you use summarized journal entries for work orders, the program ignores material issue transactions (IM), completions (IC), and scrap transactions (IS) against those summarized work orders because they are not actual work orders.

Certain types of general ledger (GL) batches, such as procurement and sales, require exceptions to the basic program logic that the system uses to create the report. These batches contain multiple types of journal entries that are not appropriate for the report. To ensure that the program selects only the inventory entries, you set up exception rules in UDC table (41/IN). The exception rules must be entered in the Description-1 field for the document types that the organization uses. This table explains the types of exception rules:

Rule | Description
Rule 0: Used for Manufacturing Issues of Material | Exception rule 0 is necessary because the F0911 table uses frozen standard costs and the F4111 table uses the inventory costing method that the user has chosen. If the methods are not the same, set up this code. For documents to which the integrity check applies, this rule ensures that if records exist in the Item Ledger table, they also exist in the Account Ledger table.
Rule 1: Used for Sales Invoices | Exception rule 1 is necessary because journal entries such as revenue or loss entries, taxes, freight, and intercompany settlements are written to the Account Ledger table when sales transactions take place. The program checks AAI 4240 from the F4095 table to determine which object accounts to include. The program compares only journal entries with these object accounts in the Account Ledger table to the journal entries in the Item Ledger table.
Rule 2: Used for Purchase Vouchers | Exception rule 2 is necessary because journal entries such as favorable or unfavorable price variances, taxes, and freight are written to the Account Ledger table when purchase transactions take place. The program checks AAI items 4330, 4340, and 4350 from the Distribution/Manufacturing - AAI Values table to determine which object accounts to include. The program compares only journal entries with these object accounts in the Account Ledger table to the journal entries in the Item Ledger table.

Note. If the exception rules in UDC table (41/IN) are set up correctly, the report prints only incorrect transactions.

Data Sequence

You must use this data sequence:

- Document type

4. Enter Work Order Issue Document Type | Specify a user-defined code from UDC table (00/DT) that identifies the work order issue document type. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses default document type IM.
5. Enter Lean Transaction Completion Document Type | Specify a user-defined code from UDC table (00/DT) that identifies the lean transaction completion document type. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses default document type LC.
6. Enter Lean Transaction Issue Document Type | Specify a user-defined code from UDC table (00/DT) that identifies the lean transaction issue document type. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses default document type LM.

#### Reviewing the Item Balance/Ledger Integrity Report

Select Inventory Reports (G41111), Item Balance/Ledger Integrity Report.

The Item Balance/Ledger Integrity report (R41544) displays discrepancies for both quantity and amount between the F41021 and F4111 tables, in combination with the F41112 table.

The report displays summary lines that represent specific totals by:

- Branch/plant

- Item number

- Location

- Lot number

Unless you set the processing option to print all records, a blank report indicates that no discrepancies exist.

Cost Method | Specify a user-defined code from UDC table (40/CM) that identifies the costing method to use to calculate the unit cost for each item. If you leave this processing option blank, the costing method for each item will be retrieved from the F4105 table.

#### Reviewing the Inventory Journal Report

Select Inventory Reports (G41111), Inventory Journal Report.

The Inventory Journal report (R41550) enables you review the transactions against the inventory. The information on the report is grouped by the source of the transactions over a specific period of time. This report lists all the basic information about the items in a specific branch, plant, or warehouse. You can also use this report to verify the amount of the inventory against the general ledger.

The R41550 retrieves records from the F4111 table.

#### Reviewing the Unit Cost Warnings Report

Select Inventory Reports (G41111), Cost Report.

The Unit Cost Warnings report (R41580) lists items with a transaction cost that is different from the current average cost that you specified in the processing options. The R41580 report retrieves records from the F4111 and F4105 tables. Print this report at least once a month so that you are aware of transactions that vary significantly in costs from the average cost per item.

#### R41580 — Processing Options for the Unit Cost Warnings Report

Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.

Variance

Variance Percentage | Specify the variance percentage. For example, if you enter 5 in this processing option, the system will select any transaction where transaction cost was 5 percent greater or 5 percent less than the current average cost for the item.

#### Reviewing the Valuation Analysis Report

Select Inventory Reports (G41111), Valuation Report.

Use the Inventory Valuation Analysis report (R41590) to review the extended value of on-hand inventory. The report is based on these cost bases:

- Weighted average unit cost

- Last-in unit cost

- Lot cost (associated with each storage area for an item)

You can compare these costs to the inventory account or the inventory accounts in the general ledger. You can create a version of this report using the GL class code to produce totals that correspond directly to the accounts in the general ledger.

Data Sequence

Cost Number 3 | Specify a user-defined code from UDC table (40/CM) that identifies which costing method to print for the third cost number. Layer - 06: Default

#### Reviewing the ABC Analysis Report

Select Inventory Reports (G41111), ABC Report.

The ABC Analysis report (R4164) is based on the principle that a small number of items will account for the largest part of a company's business. A slightly larger number of items will account for a smaller but significant amount of business. The remaining large number of items, taken together, will account for only a small amount of business.

You can generate the R4164 report based on an item's total sales, gross margin, or on-hand value. The R4164 report ranks inventory items with a letter grade of A, B, or C (where A represents the items with highest total sales, largest gross margin, or largest on-hand value). You can also use different ranking percentages in each category. For example, the system could rank Item A based on percentage of sales and Item C based on gross margin. The R4164 report helps you determine which items control the inventory costs and profits.

You can use the R4164 as the basis for inventory cycle counts (in which A items are counted more often than C items).

You can run this report in proof or final mode based on how you set up the processing options. The first time you run the ABC Analysis report, you should run it in proof mode. Proof mode enables you to review the information without updating the item master and branch/plant records with the new ABC ratings.

#### Prerequisites

Before reviewing the ABC Analysis report, you must:

- Set up the ABC code percentage breaks in the branch/plant constants.

- If you plan to run the sales version or the gross margin version of the ABC Analysis report, verify that you have set the processing options for the Sales Update program (R42800) so that the system updates the F4115 table.

- If you decide to include forecasted records in the ABC calculations, you must first run DRP (Distribution Requirements Planning).

- Determine which inventory items to exclude from the ABC analysis rankings. To exclude an item when you run this report, you must set the code on Branch/Plant Information to bypass the item.

- Determine which inventory items to exclude from the ABC analysis rankings. To exclude an item when you run this report, you must set the code on Branch/Plant Information to bypass the item.

Before reviewing the Supply and Demand report, you must:

- Ensure that you have correctly identified all sources of supply and demand and have specified all sources in the supply and demand inclusion rules.

- Review the formula for determining supply and demand.

- Review the formula for available to promise.

Before reviewing the Item Ledger/Account Integrity report, verify that you have set up exception rules in UDC table (41/IN).

Before printing the Customer/Distributor Balance report, verify that the correct items and container codes have been set up for full and empty containers.
