Read inventory movement history and journal references

Trace each quantity and value change to its retained accounting request.

Updated 2026-11-11

A product's movement history shows the accounting date, reason, movement kind, status, quantity delta, value delta and journal reference. Open the tracked product's history when investigating why its posted quantity or value changed.

Read the status alongside the deltas. A proposal can show intended quantities and values without having changed posted stock yet. Use Open journal to inspect the retained request and establish whether the movement was posted, rejected or still awaiting review.

Customer returns are labeled separately from ordinary receipts, and reversals remain in the history. Preserve those distinctions when reconstructing the sequence rather than treating every positive quantity as a new supplier purchase.

Move through the available history pages when the event is older. If the product has no stock movements, registration alone has not received stock; prepare its first supported acquisition movement only after checking the source. For a suspected error, identify the latest active posted movement and use the supported reversal process instead of editing the historical deltas directly.
