Item Expiration - Quantity Report

The  Item Expiration - Quantity report is an overview of the quantities of selected items in your inventory whose expiration dates fall within a certain period. The list shows the number of units of the selected item that will expire in a given time period. For each of the items that you specify when setting up the report, the printed document shows the number of units that will expire during each of three periods of equal length and the total inventory quantity of the selected item.

You can specify what is included in the report by setting filters. If you do not set any filters, the report will include all your records. The quantities in the report reflect only the quantities of the item for which expiration dates have been defined.

You can also determine what is shown in the report by filling in the fields on the Options tab.

On the Item tab, you can fill in the standard field filters, or you can select additional filters. To do this, press F3, click the AssistButton and then select the relevant filter(s).

To print the report, click Print. To see the report on the screen before printing it, click Preview.
