how can I run a report that will list the purchase price variance account against each inventory item
In SmartList, expand the Inventory group of smartlists, expand Items. Click on * so you load all of the inventory items with no restrictions.
Then click on the Columns button in the ribbon. Here you can add one of the other available columns -- Purchase Price Variance Account Number.
Then you'll get the list of all your inventory items and the PPV account!
Hope this helps.
