Viewing Obsolete Inventory Analysis Data
Obsolete inventory analysis enhancements let you build reports displaying obsolete inventory analysis data. The following sections describe reports included in obsolete inventory analysis enhancements and includes example reports.

Obsolete Inventory Analysis Reports
 
Report
Comments
Consumption Report (3.5.1.19; 3.5.1.43 for enhanced .NET UI version)
Displays consumption data by individual or a range of inventory types, item numbers, sites, consumption dates, or periods.
You can also display consumption data by setting Report Consumption to Yes and ABC Analysis to No in Obsolete Inventory Analysis (3.5.1.9). If you do, the system reports the same data ranges for which it is analyzing inventory.
Demand Report
Displays demand data when you run Obsolete Inventory Analysis by:
• Setting either Add Demand or Greater of Demand to Yes
• Setting Report Demand to Yes
If you run the report before the end of the GL period, the system displays a message, warning you that it extracted data for a partial period only. The system extracts demand data only when you run the report. It is not stored in database table.
Conflict Report
Displays conflicting inventory type data that can result because of the way you group items in Inventory Type Maintenance (3.5.1.1). Obsolete Inventory Analysis resolves the conflict of overlapping inventory types through actions you specify in Obsolete Inventory Control (3.5.1.24). You have two methods to display conflicting inventory type data:
• Set Report Conflicts to Yes in Obsolete Inventory Analysis.
• Run Item Inventory Type Report (3.5.1.14).
In Item Inventory Type Report, the system reports items that overlap inventory types by marking the items with an asterisk (*) in a Conflict column in the report. You can set Conflicts Only to Yes in Item Inventory Type Report to display just items in conflicting inventory types.
Coverage Report
Obsolete Inventory Analysis calculates the number of periods of supply coverage. You can optionally display coverage data when the analysis is complete.
Reserve Report
Obsolete Inventory Analysis calculates the value of obsolete inventory reserve. You can optionally display reserve data when the analysis is complete. You decide which fields display at which levels in the report in Obsolete Inventory Analysis.
Inventory Type Item Report (3.5.1.13; 3.5.1.37 for enhanced .NET UI version)
Displays items, including the inventory type IDs that match the items.
If the system finds multiple matching inventory types, it displays them alphabetically. If you set Conflicting Inventory Types to BESTFIT in Obsolete Inventory Control, the system displays them in best-fit sequence and all items indicate a conflicting inventory type by an asterisk (*) under Conflict.
Specify a range of inventory types, item numbers, or sites. Specify Yes or No to display items or field ranges in the report.
Item Inventory Type Report (3.5.1.14; 3.5.1.37 for enhanced .NET UI version)
Displays inventory types and optionally display items within each inventory type. You can run this report before you run the Obsolete Inventory Analysis program. This lets you resolve conflicts and reassign items in overlapping inventory types before you analyze data.
Specify a range of inventory types, item numbers, or sites. Specify Yes or No to display inventory type conflicts only or field ranges in the report
