Out of Bounds

The Out of Bounds Report is designed to alert you to abnormalities within the current inventory regarding the following parameters below.

Order by

In case you have a lot of Out of Bounds items, you will want to order the report in a certain way. You can order the report by Item Number, Description, or Class.

Select Items with the following parameters:

This is the main part of the report. There are three fields you can enter in to check if an item is Out of Bounds in a particular fashion. The three ways are as follows:

-Maximum On-Hand > (greater than)

-Maximum Average Cost >

-Maximum Total Cost >

The value you enter in will determine what you consider out of bounds. Look further down this page for an example.

Filter Options (Right Side)

There are two filters on the right side of the report. If you suspect a specific Item ID of being out of bounds, you can enter the ID or a portion of one. You can also check a class. If you select Exact Match, it will check the specific class you have entered into this field.

Example

This report makes it much easier to locate a user based posting error, such as entering an incorrect cost of an item. If you know that normally an average cost of an inventory item is not greater than $250.00, run this report with the "Maximum Average Cost" set to $250. The report will then locate all items which exceed an average cost of $250. With the report in hand, verify the results of the report and correct the cost as necessary.
