This article will allow you to see how much your part valuation is worth at the time of running the report 


The default of this report will include all parts with either an in-stock quantity OR an oversold qty - in the parameters /  filters, it is referred to as the inventory quantity 


The report will report on actual cost (not average cost)


For example:

  • you have a part that has stock on hand quantity of 2
  • quantity of 1 was purchased at a cost of $10
  • quantity of 1 was purchased at a cost of $11
  • the actual cost this report will show for this part will be $10 + $11 = $21 



Tip:

This report is only as good as the day it is run 

Blackpurl does not give you the option of back dating the report and have it generate for a past date

BUT you can setup Scheduled Reporting to have this report automatically run at a certain frequency and be emailed to Blackpurl Licenced Users

For further information on Scheduled Reporting, please review our article - Reporting - Scheduled Reporting
