Mastering Inventory Management with Empress's Stock Level Report

Introduction

Introduction

One of the key features of Empress is the Stock Level Report. This tool is designed to offer businesses a comprehensive and detailed view of their inventory levels. It’s an essential component in managing your stock effectively, helping maintain the right balance to meet demand without overstocking or understocking.

The Stock Level Report lets you view, edit, sort, and track information about your stock quantities in a specific warehouse. Having this information at your fingertips allows for more informed decision-making, improved planning, and better operational efficiency.

Features and Benefits of the Stock Level Report

To access the Stock Level Report, navigate to:

Stock > Main Report > Stock Projected Quantity

The report provides a detailed summary of each stock item, including:

  • Actual Qty: The current quantity of an item in the warehouse.
  • Planned Qty: The quantity set aside for a pending Work Order.
  • Requested Qty: The quantity requested for purchase but not yet ordered.
  • Ordered Qty: The quantity ordered for purchase but not yet received.
  • Reserved Qty: The quantity ordered for sale but not yet delivered.
  • Projected Qty: The future stock quantity, based on current and planned quantities.

The Projected Qty is particularly important, as it helps you anticipate future inventory needs. It’s calculated using the following formula:

Projected Qty = Actual Qty + Planned Qty + Requested Qty + Ordered Qty - Reserved Qty

By monitoring the Projected Qty, businesses can maintain optimal inventory levels, ensuring they have enough stock to meet demand without tying up too much capital in unused inventory.
