Struggling to track missing items in Sales or Purchase transactions?
Have you ever wondered why some expected items are missing in your sales or purchase transactions?
Now, with the “Missing Items” feature in the Open Items List Report, you can quickly identify items that should have been included but were left out.
This enhancement makes it easier to:
- Track unfulfilled items in open transactions.
- Identify inventory gaps before they impact sales or production.
- Improve order accuracy and prevent stock shortages.
Where to Find It?
- Reports → Sales / Purchasing/Inventory → Open Items List
Select “Missing Items” to filter and view only missing records.
Real-World Scenarios:
Sales Orders– A customer places an order for 10 products, but only 8 are added to the Sales Order due to a manual entry mistake. Using the “Missing Items” filter, the sales team quickly identifies the missing 2 items and ensures the customer gets the correct order.
Purchase Orders– The procurement team creates a PO for 500 units of raw material, but an essential component was accidentally skipped. By running the Open Items List Report with “Missing Items”, they spot the error before submitting the PO—avoiding production delays.
Inventory Planning- Your warehouse team expected 5 new items in stock, but only 3 were received. Using the Missing Items filter, they confirm that 2 items were never included in the original order and take corrective action.
Bonus Tip: Regularly schedule Open Items List Reports to proactively identify missing items before they impact business operations. Have you used the “Missing Items” filter in SAP Business One?
