Knowing what items you have on hand is fairly simple. Knowing which items are on order from vendors and are promised to customers is more complicated. Many businesses keep what they call an "order book" to track the comings and goings of inventoried items.
The Analyze Inventory window allows you to review the current status of the items you've entered into the MYOB AccountEdge system. The Analyze Inventory window functions as your "order book" by monitoring what you have on hand, on order (purchase orders) from vendors, and committed (sales orders) to customers.
This window displays quantity information only. The fields in this window are view-only; that is, you can't change any information by using this window.
The Item Number view, displayed by entering a specific item number in the Item Number field at the top of the Analyze Inventory window, allows you to view order information for a single item at a time. All sales orders and purchase orders for the item are displayed.
If you want to see past sales activity of items, use the Analyze Sales window.
