The ‘Inventory Log’ section of the V5 Control Center allows users to track the movement of commodities/products throughout the warehouse.

The ‘Inventory Log’ section can be found under the ‘Reporting’ header in Control Center.

This section is made up of 3 panels:

• Top left (yellow) panel: Shows a list of all commodities and formulas that the user can view stock history of.
• Top right (red) panel: Will show all (depending on the filters set in the top of this window) lots of the commodity selected in the top left panel
• Bottom (blue) panel: Shows the movements/system events for the lot selected in the top right panel.

All fields here are populated from ‘Commodities’ and as such can’t be edited here.
