Inventory Detailed Transactions Report
The Inventory Detailed Transactions report shows every inbound or outbound movement of products in your warehouses, one line for each product in each transaction: sales and purchase invoices and returns, requisitions, transfers between warehouses, stocktakings, manufacturing orders, and manual adjustments. The report starts with the quantity before the period, then shows the inward and outward quantities in chronological order. You can filter it by period, product, warehouse, and transaction type, then print it or export it to Excel, CSV, or PDF. This report is also known as the item card.

Find and export the items issued by requisitions
To find all the items issued by requisitions and export them with all their items, use one of two methods:
Method 1: From the Inventory Detailed Transactions report (by item)
- Open Inventory Detailed Transactions.
- Set the period, leave Product on All, and choose the warehouse or All.
- From Type, choose Requisition Manual Outbound for the requisitions you created manually, or the requisition type you need, such as Requisition Invoice.
- Click Generate Report, then Export Options → Export to Excel.
You get one line for each item in each requisition, with the date, code, name, issued quantity, warehouse, and notes. To total the quantity for each item, use a Pivot Table in Excel. The Type filter selects one type at a time, so repeat the report for each type you need.
Method 2: From the requisitions list (by requisition)
- Open Manage Requisitions.
- Filter the list: Requisition Source, Warehouse, and Status. From Advanced Search, you can also filter by Date and Product.
- Select the requisitions, or select all the search results, and choose Export from the Actions menu.
- On the export page, choose the type: items to export one line for each item, or requisitions to export one line for each requisition.
- Choose the requisition fields and item fields you need, the sort order, and the file type, then click Export.
This method shows the requisition number, its status, the unit price, and the requested quantity, and includes requisitions that are Under Delivery or Rejected based on the filter, while the report shows executed transactions only.
| Inventory Detailed Transactions report | Exporting the requisitions list | |
|---|---|---|
| Line | An item in an executed transaction | A requisition, or an item in a requisition when you export items |
| Unapproved requisitions | Don’t appear | Appear based on the Status filter |
| Requisition number and unit price | No | Yes |
| Limit | All transactions are shown; with a large number, it suggests downloading a CSV file | 5000 requisitions per export |

Important notes
- Each line in the report is one transaction for one product from one document, such as an invoice or a requisition. So inward and outward quantities appear in separate lines based on the date of each transaction, and never in the same line. To see the total inward and outward quantities for each product in one line, use Inventory Transactions Summary.
- The report shows executed transactions only; requisitions that are Under Delivery or Rejected don’t appear until they’re accepted.
- Inactive products, and products that don’t track stock, don’t appear.
- A bundle product appears based on how it’s tracked: a transaction for the bundle product itself, or transactions for its components.
- If you don’t set Date From, the Starting quantity is zero, and the report shows all transactions from the beginning.
- Editing or deleting the original document, such as the invoice or requisition, changes its transaction in the report.

FAQs
How do I issue an item card?
The item card is the Inventory Detailed Transactions report. Open Inventory Detailed Transactions, set Date From and Date To, choose the item from Product and the warehouse from Warehouse, leave Type on All, then click Generate Report. The report shows the item’s transactions with the time, type, inward, and outward quantities, and the Stock Level After column shows the item’s balance after each transaction if you have more than one warehouse. For value and cost, use Detailed Stock Transactions For Each Product.
How do I find the items issued by requisitions and export them with all the items?
From Inventory Detailed Transactions, choose Type: Requisition Manual Outbound and the period, leave Product on All, then Export to Excel. Or, from Manage Requisitions, select the requisitions and choose Export with the items type.
How do I find the quantity of an item issued to a client or department?
Write the client or department name in the requisition notes, so it appears in the Notes column, or filter Manage Requisitions by client and export the items.
Why does the transaction type show Requisition Invoice instead of Invoice?
Because Requisitions for Sales Invoices is enabled, so the invoice is issued by a requisition.
Can I choose more than one transaction type in the same report?
No; choose one type or All. To choose more than one type, use the Source filter in Detailed Stock Transactions For Each Product.
Does the report show the value or cost of transactions?
No, it shows quantities only. For value and cost, use Detailed Stock Transactions For Each Product.
Why are the values in the Outward column negative?
Because outward quantities reduce the balance, so they appear with a negative sign.
Why do inward and outward quantities appear in separate lines instead of the same line?
Because the report shows each stock transaction in its own line based on the document that created it, such as an invoice or a requisition. An inward transaction and an outward transaction are two different transactions, so each appears in its own line with its own date, and the number appears only in the Inward or Outward column while the other stays empty. To see the total inward and outward quantities for each product in one line, use Inventory Transactions Summary.
