Overview

The Inventory Quantity Check report is designed to allow you to replace missing History Records and identify outages. The two methods to do this are to use the 1 of the 2 grey buttons embedded into each of the rows, or 1 of the 2 Adjust All buttons at the top of the report.

Requirements

  1. The number one requirement is to run this only after you have run a backup. This report can change the quantities in large portions of your inventory, do not run this report without having completed a backup. Information: if you have not restored your backup to the training data base recently you have not really done a backup.
  2. Have a thorough understanding of inventory management within System Five. See quiz at bottom of page for a better idea.
