Estimated Inventory Value Report
The Estimated Inventory Value report approximates the year‑end cost of goods for your inventory when activity has already been recorded in the new tax year. It uses current on‑hand inventory, invoices, and inventory orders to estimate the prior‑year wholesale cost of goods. For an accurate estimate, ensure all invoices and inventory orders are entered, and your on‑hand inventory counts are current before running the report. Before continuing, ensure your Default Discount is set.
