Read item activity
Item Activity Reporting focuses on using activity and movement reports to explain how item balances changed. In AWRA, that work affects item setup, stock movement quality, reporting trust, and the decisions managers make from inventory data.
The important habit is to treat inventory records as operational evidence. Names, quantities, costs, statuses, attachments, labels, and timelines all shape what users can safely sell, move, count, or report.
In practice, a manager explains a stock drop by filtering item activity to show sales, transfers, and one approved adjustment. The flow below shows the record sequence a team should understand before changing item data or acting on a stock signal.
