Printing the Overstocked Items Report
The Overstocked Items report lists each item at each location for which the quantity on hand (plus the quantity on PO minus the quantity on sales order) exceeds the maximum or projected sales quantity assigned for the item and location.
You can report item quantities for locations that are over the maximum level or over the projected sales figures entered for the items in the Reorder Quantities form. You can include cost figures on the report to see the costs of carrying the extra inventory items.
Use the Annualized Turn And Earn Ratio version of this report to find out how many times your company's average inventory was sold during the year to date. The report also shows the profit margin, total sales, and total cost for each item in the year to date.
For more information on the contents of this report, see Overstocked Items — Features.
