Item Activity report
The Item Activity report contains detailed information about which items are available (on-order, on-hand, and reserved quantity totals), and where they are located.
The quantities on the Item Activity report reflect the value changes resulting from transactions, not quantities remaining. These quantities can differ from what you see on a Physical Inventory or Inventory Valuation report, since those reports show quantities available.
Use the Item Activity report to view:
- Items available in each warehouse.
- Types of item transactions for a selected period.
- Availability of items that are components of a kit (creating a sales order for a kit moves the component items to reserved status).

Select the reporting period from the dropdown list, or enter the start and end dates you want the report to cover. If you don't specify a reporting period, Sage Intacct generates a report for the current month to date. You can set either the reporting period or the start and end dates, but not both.
- To view all results for the default reporting period, select View.
For more details on reporting periods, see Time period.
- To include or exclude specific types of data in the report, set filters such as customer, item, UPC, value, or account. As a general rule, to get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.
-
Add title, subtitle, or footer text to your report.

You can schedule memorized reports to run on a recurring basis. Intacct can automatically email the reports or deliver them to a cloud storage location.
- Export: Export the report to a separate file that you can then distribute or save to your local drive. File formats to which you can export the report data vary among reports.
- Customize: After you run the report, return to the main report page and refine the report further.

Some options are only available if you access the report from the Reports center.
You can use trial-and-error to get the precise results you want. Just fill in the desired fields, and select View to see the report. If the results aren't what you want, select Customize to return to the report setup page and refine the report further. Repeat this process until you're satisfied.
For complex financial reports that will be run regularly, save the report after you're done setting it up. The next time you're ready to run the report, you only have to change the As of date before running the report.
Time period
You can use one of the numerous pre-defined reporting periods available from the Reporting period and As of date fields, or create your own reporting period using the Start date and End date fields.
In the Time period section, do one of the following:
- Select a reporting period from the Reporting period dropdown list. Then, either enter a date in the As of date field or use the calendar tool to select a date.
- Enter a specific Start date and End date or use the calendar tool to select the dates.
If you complete all the time period fields (that is, if you fill in the Reporting period, As of date, Start date, and End date fields), Intacct generates your report based on the start and end dates. It ignores the As of date.
| Time period field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Reporting period |
The periods are relative to the As of date. All periods begin on the first day of the period, such as the first day of the month, quarter, or year that you select. Reporting period only works with As of date. It does not apply if you select a Start date or End date. |
|
As of date |
The date Sage Intacct uses as a baseline for the reporting period that you select. Leave this field blank to use to today's date. As of date only works with Reporting period. It does not apply if you select a Start date or End date. |
|
Start date, End date |
Leave the Start date blank to include all information from the earliest date of your Intacct data up to and including the end date. Leave the End date blank include all information from the start date up to today. The date format in your personal preferences determines the required format. The default is MM/DD/YYYY. The default date displayed in As of date shows the required format as does using the calendar tool. |
|
Prompt on run |
Select this checkbox to force Intacct to wait for you (or anyone using this report) to enter a location, department, or time period before it runs the report. |
Report filters
Filters focus the results of your report, to isolate and assemble just the data you want. You can set any combination of filters.
- Select a Report on option to track items by either Item ID or UPC code:
- To track items by Item ID: Select Item ID, and then use either the From item and To item dropdown lists or the Operator and Value fields to specify the items to include in your report.
- To track items by UPC code: Select UPC, and then use either the From UPC and To UPC dropdown lists or the Operator and Value fields to specify the items to include in your report.
The Operator and Value fields help you filter on specific items.
For example, if you want a report on an item with the ID 800HGT453 but you only remember part of the ID, such as the HGT characters, select Contains from the Operator dropdown, enter HGT in the Value field, and select View. Intacct finds and displays all items where the Item ID contains the character string "HGT". If you select Includes or Excludes from the dropdown, the Value field can contain a list of values separated by commas.
How to use From and To fieldsAll From and To field pairs work the same way. Use them to get search results in as broad or as fine a range as necessary—from everything in the system to a single specific object.
To run this report for a single object:
- From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want.
- From the To dropdown list, select the same object.
To run this report for a specific range of objects:
- From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want to begin the range.
- From the To dropdown list, select the object that you want to end the range.
To run this report for all objects:
- Leave both From and To fields blank.
If you have a lot of objects or the report takes too long to process, use the From and To dropdown lists to run a series of smaller reports. For example, you can run 5 reports, one each for objects whose names begin with A-E, then F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z.
An object is a catch-all term that refers to any specific data item in the system. Customers, vendors, items, and accounts are all examples of objects.
- To show results for a specific warehouse or range of warehouses, use the From warehouse and To warehouse dropdown menus.
