Questions & Answers
- Rate of a stock item appears lower than the actual cost of purchase I paid to the supplier. Why is their a discrepancy between the rate of stock item and the amount paid?

- How can I identify the customers or suppliers who contribute the most to the movement of a specific stock item?
From Group Analysis or Ledger Analysis, drill down to the item level and evaluate its movement by customer or supplier.
Review the quantity and value of transactions associated with each party to identify the largest contributors.
