Report material

In this procedure you can easily report quantity for one material at a time, by entering the report number of the material.

If you are making a partial reporting for the material, the system will add up the quantity for each partial report that is made.

The reporting that takes place will deduct the stock balance for the material, and you can see it in the Post-calculation procedure.
