Through the use of inventory filters, The Edge allows you to produce general inventory reports for all items or very specific reports (e.g., a list of items in category 200 over 365 days old that cost between $300 and $500). Each value entered into the filter will further refine the report. For example, in a Sold Item report, selecting OK without entering anything would direct The Edge to produce a sold report of every item ever sold. Entering a value of 200 in the Category field would limit the same report to only items sold from category 200. Adding a vendor ID to the criteria would then produce a sold report of items from category 200 that were supplied by that vendor. Most of the tabs in the Inventory report filters mirror those in the Item Find filter. For a video tutorial about working with inventory filters, go to http://www.screencast.com/t/ICQVlzwB.
When you select one of the Inventory reports, The Edge will present you with a query window similar to that of Find Item (see the section entitled Finding and Editing an Item). The Options tab, however, will differ in that it will offer more options for the report output, including flexibility for how the report is grouped and sorted and the amount of detail.
Fields and options in the Options tab include:
