Subledger Report for Inventory Reconciliation

What report do you all use to find variances between subledger and GL balance for Inventory? We have one account for inventory but the subledger reports I have found do not make it easy to find the variance. It just gives me the balances of each stock item but no transactional history. I’m looking for a subledger that accomplishes both balance by inventory ID and transactional history to find variance.

@jstreet06 Historical Inventory Valuation (IN617000) covers both halves of what you're after. It has two formats.

Summary shows each item's cost and quantity by period, grouped by account and subaccount. The Account Ending Balance line is the number you tie to Trial Balance Summary (GL632000) for the same period. Detail lists every transaction for an item: type, reference number, date, quantity and cost. The catch is that it only runs for one Inventory ID at a time.

For transaction history across all items, use Inventory Transactions by Account (IN403000). Pick your inventory account and period, and check By Financial Period so it filters on post period, which is the period the GL entry lands in. Each row is a released inventory transaction line with its Inventory ID, the debit or credit, and a running beginning and ending balance. You can narrow it to one item with the Inventory ID filter in the header.

To find the variance, compare IN403000 with Account Details (GL404000) for the same account and period. Look for an inventory transaction released with Update GL cleared, a GL batch that was never posted, or an entry that hit the inventory account from outside Inventory, like a manual journal entry. If the account's Post Option in Chart of Accounts is Detail, the GL lines match the IN403000 lines one to one. With summary posting, one GL line covers several inventory lines.

The help topic "Reconciliation of the Cost of Inventory with the Account Balance" walks through the full process.
