Answer: In any company, the administrative staff and business owners must be able to view what inventory is in which location at any given time. Solid Route Accounting™ - Enterprise Edition allows all inventory to be monitored accurately from one central location, at Solid Business Central™. When speaking about inventory, there are two common questions: "What inventory is where" and "How much inventory is in this location?"

1. What inventory is where?

To answer this question, the best place to look is an item's Cost Center Quantities. In Solid Business Central™, navigate to [Datafile / Inventory / View] and display the desired inventory item. Using [F3 - CC_Qty], a list of all the company's inventory will show, and the item being viewed will be highlighted automatically. Using [TAB] to move over to the right columns can be viewed for each cost center such as 'Qty001', 'Qty998', 'Qty999', showing the quantity of that item is in each of those cost centers.

To print a report with similar data, try the Inventory Valuation Report, which can be found at [Datafile / Inventory / Report / Valuation]. This report can be printed to show the inventory quantities in any specific cost center or use '000' when asked to 'Choose Group' to include ALL cost centers. If printing the report for ALL cost centers, answer 'Yes' to the question, 'Print Detail' to print out the total quantity for every inventory item included on the report and print how much is in each cost center to make up that total.

2. How much inventory is in this location?

The answer to this question can readily be found in Solid Business Central™ at
[Datafile / Cost Center / View]. Use [Page Up] and [Page Down] to display the cost center ('Num') in question, and that cost center's total inventory value is readily displayed in the 'Inventory Value' field. If more details are needed, though, use [F3 - Qntity], and once a beginning date for the history is set, use [CTRL+END] to continue. This will display a list of all the available inventory in a top pane, and by highlighting an item, its history for the period specified will display below.
