Inventory Report

What is Inventory Report ?

An inventory report (German: Lagerspiegel) is a comprehensive overview or report that provides up-to-date information about the stock levels of items or materials stored in a warehouse. It shows which items are available, in what quantities, and at which storage locations.

In addition, an inventory report often includes further details such as:

• Item numbers and descriptions
• Unit costs and inventory value
• Minimum and maximum stock levels
• Reserved or allocated quantities
• Incoming and outgoing stock movements

Depending on the company and its ERP or warehouse system, inventory reports can be even more detailed — for example, including:

• Supplier information
• Batch or lot numbers
• Expiration or best-before dates

Typical Uses of an Inventory Report:

• Stocktaking and audits (inventory counts)
• Procurement and restocking decisions
• Business and financial evaluations
