4.01.06. Items - Ledger tab

Back to Item Details window

The item Ledger tab lists individual transactions for the item in question. By default is shows all transactions for the current year:

The Type column has a shorthand label for the type of transaction:

Note that all supplied lines (i.e. stock in) have a grey background and issued lines (i.e. stock out) have a white background to help you identify them easily.

The Quan column shows the number of packs of pack size shown in the Pack column that were involved in the transaction. The value in the Quan column will be positive if it represents stock in or negative if it represents stock out.

The Balance column shows you the stock balance after the transaction represented by the line has taken place.

Filtering the ledger list

Two drop down lists are available to filter the transactions you see in the table:

You can use the Show…. drop-down list to show:

The other drop down list allows selection from a variety of periods during which transactions occurred.

Clicking on the column headings of the list (except the Balance column) will sort the list by the information in that column, as is usual throughout mSupply. This can be helpful for finding a particular transaction but BEWARE, this will probably mean that the lines are no longer in the order they actually occurred and the Balance column values will not be displayed in the correct sequential order; they will still be correct just not in the correct order.

If the cost price column is blank, this is because the current user does not have permission to view cost prices. (This option can be turned on or off for each user from the “File > edit users…” menu item).

If you want to view an invoice for one of the displayed lines, simply double-click the line you are interested in. The invoice (or payment, as the case may be) will be shown in a new window.
