Stock Ledger

The Stock Ledger report shows the stock entries of your items. Frappe Books makes stock entries when you submit a stock movement, a shipment, or a purchase receipt. Each entry shows the change in quantity and in value, and the balance after the change. Stock that goes out takes the FIFO rate of the oldest stock that is still in. Only a Books Manager or a System Manager sees the rates and the values.

Open the Stock Ledger

Click Reports > Stock Ledger in the sidebar. The report shows only when inventory is on. On a phone, tap Reports in the bottom tabs, tap the report title in the header, and then tap Stock Ledger.

Open the Entries of a Document

  1. Open a submitted stock movement, shipment, or purchase receipt.
  2. Click View > Stock entries in the page header. On a phone, tap the … button in the header, and then tap Stock entries.

The report opens with Ref Type and Ref Name set to the document. From Date and To Date change to the date of the document. After you submit one of these documents, you can also click View stock entries in the message.

A Material Transfer makes two entries for each row. One takes the stock out of the source location. The other puts it into the destination location, with the value that the first entry took out. For an item with serial numbers, each serial number gets its own entry with a quantity of 1.
