Inventory Reports

A 'Report' is basically the results of a 'search' of the BCSS database for information - just like a search in Google. A big difference is that a BCSS Report will only include the information asked for and not 'close matches'.

Select Reports on the Main Menu (not shown) then Inventory:

Select Report Content

Settings on this screen tell BCSS which inventory items to include in the Report.

For example, to include only items in inventory in the category 'Maternity' that were checked in during the month of July, 2009:

1. Check 'Quantity greater than 0'.

2. Select 'Maternity' in the Category drop-down menu.

3. Check 'Date In' and enter 7/1/2009 in the From Field and 7/31/2009 in the To Field.

Boxes must be checked for settings to apply.
