Why are there no costs on Issues or Consumables reports?

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

The Issues report and the Consumables report are the most frequently used Transaction reports.

All Transaction reports record the cost at the time the transaction is created. This is to record fluctuating costs over time. If the cost at the time of the issue was 0.00, that is what will appear on the report even if the cost was subsequently added. Any transactions taking place after the cost is added will include the cost.

If your inventory doesn't have associated costs, add them:

  • For serialized items, the Cost is added on the Purchase Rental Information tab for each item ID.
  • For bulk and consumable inventory, create an inventory adjustment.
To see either the Last Cost or Average Cost, or both, on the report, create a duplicate and add the field.
