Tips for Effective Tracking

  1. Use date ranges: Narrow down to specific periods
  2. Combine filters: Use Date + Product + Movement Type together
  3. Check stock changes: Compare Original Stock and New Stock to see impact
  4. Review notes: The Note column often contains invoice numbers, receipt numbers, or reasons
  5. Track by SKU: Click SKU links to view product details
  6. Monitor trends: Filter by type to see patterns (e.g., frequent returns)

Understanding Stock Calculations

  • For SOLD movements: New Stock = Original Stock – Qty
  • For RECEIVED movements: New Stock = Original Stock + Qty
  • For RETURNED movements: New Stock = Original Stock + Qty
  • For PULL OUT movements: New Stock = Original Stock – Qty

Troubleshooting

  • No data showing?
  • Check date range
  • Verify filters aren’t too restrictive
  • Try “All” for Movement Type and Product
  • Can’t find a specific product?
  • Use the Product search (type at least 1 character)
  • Check spelling
  • Try searching by SKU if known
  • Missing movements?
  • Verify the date range covers the period
  • Ensure movements were recorded in the system
