Operations Menu - Items - Item Status

This page describes the 'Item Status' function on the Operations menu in the Items browse window. This function can't be used on iOS or Android.

---

The 'Item Status' function displays the current status (for example, the quantity in stock, the quantity on unfulfilled Sales Orders, etc) of any Item in a separate 'Item Status' window.

To open the 'Item Status' window, first highlight an Item in the 'Items: Browse' window and then select 'Item Status' from the Operations menu. The 'Item Status' window will be opened.

The 'Item Status' window is unusual in that it always "floats" on top of other windows, even when those windows are active. This means you can highlight other Items in the 'Items: Browse' window and the figures in the 'Item Status' window will be updated accordingly.

If you leave the 'Item Status' window open, you can open a record such as a Quotation, Sales Order, Invoice, Purchase Order, Delivery, Stock Movement or a Stock Depreciation and click in any row in that record. The 'Item Status' window will be updated to display information about the Item where you clicked. If you move the insertion point to another row containing a different Item, the figures in the 'Item Status' window will again be updated. If you select 'Paste Special' from the Item Number field in any row and highlight an Item in the 'Paste Item' window, the 'Item Status' window will be updated to show figures for the Item highlighted. If the 'Item Status' window is not open, you can also open it from those records. First click in any field in the row containing the Item you are interested in. Then open the Row menu by right-clicking (Windows) or ctrl-clicking (Mac OS X) the row number and select the 'Item Status' function.

Before using the 'Item Status' function for the first time, you should specify which figures will be displayed in the 'Item Status' window. You can do this at a system level, and you can also have different figures displayed to different users. Please refer to the description of the Item Status Settings setting in the Sales Ledger here for details. This description also includes details about how the figures are calculated. If the 'Item Status' window is empty, the probable reasons are that you have not chosen any options in the Item Status Settings setting, or you have created a record in the Item Status Settings register in the User Settings module for the current user in which no options are selected.

You can choose to have the 'Item Status' window opened automatically whenever you open the 'Items: Browse' window or a record window whose Row menu features the 'Item Status' function. To do this, use the Show Item Status option in the Item Settings setting in the Sales Ledger.

You can move the window and put it where you want on the screen. Use the Window menu (Windows and Linux) or the ⌘-Shift-S keystroke (Mac OS X) to ensure it always opens in that position in the future.
