Inventory reports
Inventory reports display a month-end snapshot of your inventory, and help you track the quantity and percentage of inventory sold per day.

- Navigate to Analytic → Reports in the left menu.
- Locate financial reports under the Inventory section on the reports summary page.
- Click any report title to view comprehensive metrics and granular data.
