Stock movement report

Where the stock level report shows what you have now, the stock movement report shows how it got there. It's a dated ledger of every change to stock over a period — every sale, return, purchase, transfer and adjustment.

Use it to answer "why did this count change?" and to audit stock over time.

Every stock in and out event in the chosen date range.

Reading it

Set the filters and select Apply:

• From / To — the date range (defaults to this month so far).
• Location — a single warehouse/branch, or All.
• Type — narrow to one kind of movement (see below), or All.

Summary cards show Total Movements, Total In (qty), Total Out (qty) and In Value.

Each row shows the Date, Product, Location, movement Type, the Qty change (shown with a + or − sign), the Unit Cost, and the Total Value of that movement.

Movement types

Type	Direction	Comes from
Purchase	In	Receiving stock against a purchase order
Return	In	A customer refund/return
Transfer In	In	The receiving side of a stock transfer
Opening	In	Opening stock when an item was first set up
Sale	Out	A completed sale
Transfer Out	Out	The sending side of a stock transfer
Adjustment	Either	A correction, e.g. from a cycle count

Incoming movements are shown in green, outgoing in red.

Cancelling or editing an order doesn't erase its original stock movements — they stay in the history, so the report shows what really happened.
