Running the Customer Service Stock Report

Service stock, also called manual safety stock, is a quantity added to the normal stocking level of a product for a period of time. When you assign service stock, the system adds additional quantities to the order point and line point calculations. After the service stock reaches its expiration date, the additional quantities are removed from the order point and line point calculations.

Use the Customer Service Stock Report to track the products in your inventory that have this designation.

To run the Customer Service Stock Report:

  1. From the Reprts > End of Month Reports > Customer Reports menu, select Customer Service Stock to display the Customer Service Stock Report screen.

  2. In the Branch field, enter the branch or territory for which to show service stock. To include all branches and territories, enter ALL.

  3. In the Customer field, do one of the following:

  1. In the Line Type field, identify whether to run the report for price lines or buy lines. Based on your selection, the system renames the Prc Line/Buy Line field and the Prc Line/Buy Line hot key accordingly.

  2. In the Prc Line/Buy Line field, do one of the following:

  1. In the Sort by field, enter a specific column or group of columns to use to sort the data on the report. The default value is Customer by Product.

  2. In the Earliest Exp Date field, enter the first date in a range of expiration dates to include on the report. The system populates this field with today's date, but you can change it, if needed. This field supports variable dates.

  3. In the Latest Exp Date field, enter the last date in the range of expiration dates to include on the report. This field supports variable dates.

  4. In the Blank Exp Date (I/E/O) field, indicate whether to include, exclude, or run the report only for service stock items with a blank expiration date.

  5. In the Start Date for Qty Purchased field, enter the first date in a range of product purchase dates.

  6. In the End Date for Qty Purchased field, enter the last date in a range of product purchase dates.

Note: When dates are entered for both of these fields, the report displays a Usage column, which shows the quantity in the default selling Unit of Measure of the product that was purchased by the customer during the specified date range. The Usage dates also display in the Report Heading.

  1. Set options, if needed, and generate the report.
