The Inventory Update Report (RIU) does the end-of-month processing on every inventory item (SKU). It moves the field for "units sold" from this month to last month, the units sold from last month to the month before that, and so on. It also provides an accurate count of inventory records by department. This report is run at the end of each period so that the new period will start accumulating data in the current period field.
Note: POS updates the current month field immediately as transactions are processed. It is critical that this report finish its processing before any sales activity occurs in the new period.
The end-of-period dates are set up in the Date Table (MDT). The RIU report prints only the figures for the oldest history periods because these are deleted from the system. Therefore, when you have been using the system for a year (and have data in these fields), you should save this report for reference.
Note: This report should be run as part of your end-of-month queue.
