8.9 Reports and Controls
Audience: Warehouse, Procurement, Finance Review
Use Inventory Summary, Inventory Stock, Inventory Valuation, and Inventory Movements to monitor operating performance. Use Vendor Performance and Reorder Alerts to evaluate supply reliability and demand planning accuracy. Use threshold events, audit views, and enterprise controls to identify unusual changes or segregation of duties issues.
STRATEGIC TIP: Review movement and valuation reports together. High movement with deteriorating gross margin usually points to cost setup issues, shrinkage, or poor purchasing discipline rather than sales success alone.
