What the shelf is worth, in the books
The inventory reports answer the CFO question — what is all this stock worth — from the same ledger the balance sheet reads, so the two never argue. Value at risk, expiring value, and per-location breakdowns included.
What you get
What the shelf is worth, both ways
The valuation report prices your holding two ways at once: at cost — what the stock ties up — and at retail — what it would fetch. Units, value at cost, value at retail and the potential margin between them, per item and in total, live from the current position.
It is the number the bank asks for, the insurer asks for, and the year-end asks for — read from the file, not assembled in a spreadsheet.
Costs come from purchases, not opinions
Valuation is only as good as its costs, and costs here come from the purchase documents that brought stock in — the cost you keyed on the bill, updated purchase by purchase. The report inherits the discipline of the buying process.
Zero-cost lines are visible rather than hidden, because a zero cost is usually a purchase entered in a hurry — and the report is where it gets caught.
One of six, in the Report Centre
Valuation sits in the Inventory group of the Report Centre beside movement, damaged-goods and the rest — 65 reports in the nine QuickBooks-style groups. Export it, email it, or drill any line to the product behind it.
The ledger's inventory asset account tells the same story in accounting terms, because stock and books are one system.
