Thinking about this, I don’t think we need the option at all.
Consider Inventory Value Movement
report which already shows all inventory items even if they have no movement. The reason is so the total at the end of the report for opening and closing balances match the balance sheet.
I think Inventory Quantity Movement
report should be consistent. In other words if Inventory Value Movement
report shows inventory item, Inventory Quantity Movement
should show it too.
The latest version (19.5.41) implements this now.
