It looks like I'm late to learn about this deprecation of our one and only report used by finance for inventory reconciliation: Inventory value report.
I configured the new Inventory value storage report - to find out that all most important and valuable pieces of information (to finance person) has been removed.
1) TOTALS!!!!! I understand it's always about the performance - but what about not making the month end even harder by removing totals from an already tedious process - inventory reconciliation
2) Comparison to GL accounts!! This was a very cool feature that could show to the user, immediately, if inventory is tight to the GL. Without doing the aerobic through both modules.
Why I am very disappointed is this summer I spent months addressing the inventory to GL for 3 customers, some cases where inventory was off since the go-life by millions..
If it wasn't for that report (mainly, not only) with TOTALS and GL comparison, that helped me guide a full operation and dev team to correct corrupted data and balance to zero years of mess. I wouldn't have the necessary basic tools to complete the task and be successful at it. The very sad part is that I transferred my knowledge to clients and today they understand how to monitor Inventory physical value to GL value thanks to these features, that will no longer exist.
Instead of growing, we are regressing? and our month ends will now be even more miserable when it comes to controlling inventory and operations financially? going backwards are we? exporting to Excel and computing or using data entity? Promising.
So what's next to address this?
