Artisan tracks adjustments to your inventory. These can be manual changes, such as shrinkage (lost or stolen items), breakage, automatic adjustments, such as returns, or manual adjustments like turning off inventory tracking for an item. You can view all of these instances during a specific time period by running the “Inventory Adjustment Detail” report.
Accessing the Report
To access the report, click on “Reports,” “Inventory Reports,” and “Inventory Adjustment Detail Report” in the toolbar.
Or, on the “Main Menu,” select “Reports.”
Choose “Inventory Reports.”
Click on “Inventory Adjustment Detail Report.”
Either way, you’ll end up at the following screen.
Report Fields
Show Item Detail?: Includes the individual items, with their Item Code, description, and other details.
Dates to Include?: Choose a date range to view data from.
Group By: This will separate your inventory into categories. If you don’t want to separate by category, select “No Grouping.”
Inventory Site: If you have more than one site, you can choose to view data at a specific site, or all.
Include Consignment: Determine if you want to view inventory data on consignment items.
You can further narrow down or broaden the type of adjustments you want to see or exclude from the report by including or excluding shrinkage, destroyed items, and other inventory adjustments.
You can save these changes as default fields for later by selecting the “Save as Defaults for this Report (except dates)” checkmark. The fields as you set them will save, but the dates will not.
