Inventory Zero Balance Report

Inventory Control - Inventory Zero Balance Report

Function

Use this task to create a report showing all items that are currently out-of-stock (those with a zero balance.) This report can be created to show items that went out-of-stock as of a specific date, and currently remain out-of-stock. The information can help avert potential inventory shortages or computer errors. The physical verification of the out-of-stock items that appear on this report can be used to compliment inventory cycle counting.
