Reports for inventory kit (and module)

#1

Dear @lubos,

can you please add reports for inventory kit? Where can I find how many of them are sold?

Secondly… I don’t understand why they are in settings and not in customize as a module. Do you think that it can be moved to module like production orders?

Thanks

Currently, you cannot. They were removed from Inventory Profit Margin report because of a bug. See Inventory Profit Margin report bug when Inventory Kits are sold for a discussion.

I don’t see a purpose for this. Inventory kits do not, by definition, exist until the instant they are sold. They are merely a convenience for selling pre-existing inventory items in a bundle. In that sense, they are very much like non-inventory items. That is, they are entry shortcuts, not separate functions.

Is it possible to access to this data through custom reports?

#4

No, because the transactions entered are for the individual items, not the kit. This is related to the explanation in the topic I linked.

Since it’s a relational database (SQL) it’s only only a problem to link the tables. So then real answer is “no, right now, until @lubos will expose the fields in custom reports”.

Dear @tut, I think that this forum should be more a place to improve Manager rather than having you answering always NO without thinking to a mid term solution to propose to @lubos for future implementation.

I answered “No” because that was the answer to your question. I do not presume to know the development direction of the program. I answer based on what is, not what might be, unless the developer has previously expressed his plans on a particular subject.
