Summary

The Transaction by Category report displays transactions filtered by batch, transaction date, category or inventory action.

When printing Inventory Control module reports, be aware that inventory counts and the transactions that affect those counts are date and time specific. In order to generate an accurate inventory report, confirm that both the date and time specified are correct.

Step by Step

1     Open the Transaction by Category report window (IC> Reports> Transaction by Category).

2     Configure the report.

• Use the Transaction Date From and To fields to specify a transaction date range for the report.
• Select an Action from the drop-down menu to filter the report by an inventory action.
• Enter a Category for the report or click the field label to select one from a list. If you do not specify a category, the report will display all IC transactions sorted by category.
  • IC Categories are created and maintained on the Category Maintenance window (IC> Maintenance> Category).
• Select a Batch Type from the drop-down menu to filter the report by either the Inventory Transaction or the Physical Inventory process.
  • The Batch Type field will default to All and the Batch Number field will be disabled.
  • If you select a batch type, click the Batch Number field label to select the specific batch.
• Check the Include uncommitted transactions toggle to include both committed and uncommitted transactions in the report.
• Check the Page break by category toggle to start a new page for each category included in the report.
• The report will display the Category Code, Item Description, Item ID, Transaction Date and Time, Transaction Description, Action Type, Change in Quantity, and Change in Value. The report will also be grouped and sorted by category code and inventory item number.

3     Print the report.

  • Click the Print icon drop-down menu and select Print Preview to preview the report before printing.
  • Click the Print icon drop-down menu and select Excel to export the report data to an Excel spreadsheet as unformatted data.
