Choose the report period before reviewing totals or exporting data.

Use focused filters

Narrow large reports by ingredient, storage unit, delivery location, or transaction type.

Check totals before exporting

Review grand totals, inventory values, or movement totals before downloading files.

Use CSV for analysis

Choose CSV when you want to work with the data in a spreadsheet.

Use PDF for review

Choose PDF when you need a readable report for sharing or filing.

Use Export History for large files

Create background exports for larger reports and download them once completed.
