  3. In this form, select the Inventory Status by Item option from the Report dropdown.
  4. Select Barcode from the Order By dropdown.
  5. Under the Parameters tab, select the following:
    • All in the Include Items if qtys on hand are dropdown.
    • No cell detail in the Cell Detail dropdown.

How to schedule your Inventory Status Report :

  1. With your report parameters fully configured (steps 1-6 above), do not click Preview. Instead, click the Schedule button at the bottom of the report form. The Schedule Task dialog will appear.
  2. Under the Task Repetition section, choose your desired frequency (for example, select Day and enter 1 to have the report run daily).
  3. Set your desired time for the report to run.
  4. On the next screen, under Naming and File Destination, provide a name for the exported file. It is highly recommended to use your Store Name as the file name.
  5. Under the Delivery Method/Output section, the system will give you several output options (PDF, Excel, CSV, etc.). You must select CSV.
  6. Choose your destination path to match the delivery method you have configured in Quivers:
    • Dropbox: Choose your local Dropbox folder path as the file destination.
    • FTP / Email: Enter the relevant FTP directory path or the email address connected to your Quivers integration.
  7. Click Save or OK to confirm the schedule.

Notes

  • You can review or edit your scheduled reports at any time by navigating to System > Lists > Scheduled Tasks.
