Receiving Discrepancies by Product

This discrepancy report helps retailers maintain inventory accuracy and uphold customer satisfaction. By highlighting inventory received that does not match the expected quantities, such as the example of shoes-M-38 with a discrepancy of 4 units, retailers can identify and rectify issues like shipment errors, theft, or miscounts. Timely detection of such discrepancies enables corrective actions like adjusting stock levels, investigating root causes, and improving receiving processes, ultimately ensuring that customers receive the products they desire when they expect them.

Query Logic

Data Selection: Data selection involves gathering essential details from various tables. It selects shipment IDs, product SKUs, quantities, and facility information, providing insights into discrepancies in received shipments. This curated data forms the foundation for the report, enabling effective analysis and resolution of discrepancies.

Joining Relevant Tables: To compile a comprehensive dataset, the SQL query fetches information about shipments, products, facilities, and statuses. By joining these tables, the query gathers all the necessary information needed to understand discrepancies in received shipments.

Selecting Necessary Information: Once the tables are connected, the query selects specific details crucial for the report. It picks essential information like shipment IDs, product SKUs, facility IDs, expected and received quantities, and dates. These details provide insights into where the discrepancies occur, what products are involved, and when the shipments were received. This approach allows the report to focus on the key aspects of receiving discrepancies, enabling users to pinpoint issues and take corrective actions effectively.

Calculating Differences and Defining Statuses: Within the subquery, the query calculates the difference between expected and received quantities by subtracting the Quantity Accepted from the quantity. A status is assigned to each shipment item based on this difference, categorizing shipments into Completed, NotReceived, OverReceived, UnderReceived, and Manually added item to transfer order.

Grouping Data: The query groups the data by Destination_Facility_Id and SKU. This grouping helps to summarize and organize the discrepancies for each product at each facility.

Ordering: The query orders the results in descending order based on the total discrepancies, ensuring the product with more discrepancies appears first.

Recorded Variances Report

This report provides retailers with detailed insights into discrepancies in inventory levels across different products and facilities. By highlighting specific product SKUs that have experienced variances and outlining the reasons behind these discrepancies, the report allows retailers to pinpoint areas of concern swiftly and accurately. Understanding the root causes of inventory discrepancies enables retailers to take proactive measures to rectify issues, whether they stem from inaccuracies in recording, theft, damage, or other factors.

This report helps in optimizing inventory management by ensuring that stock levels align with demand and sales forecasts. By identifying variances promptly, retailers can prevent overstocking or stockouts, thus minimizing potential revenue losses.

Query Logic

Data Selection: The SQL query gathers data from multiple tables including physical_inventory, inventory_item_variance, product, facility, and others. These tables provide essential information such as facility IDs, SKUs, adjustment dates, quantities, users, descriptions, and comments necessary for analyzing inventory variances.

Filtering Criteria: To focus the report on relevant variances, the query applies several filtering criteria:

• It selects adjustments made for products identified by their UPC code (good_identification_type_id = "UPCA").

• Only adjustments related to products with the product category PURCHASE_ALLOW are included.

• Adjustments labeled as POS_SALE are excluded, as they typically do not represent inventory discrepancies.

• Adjustments associated with a specific facility ID ("BDC") are also excluded, based on business requirements.

• The query further refines the dataset by specifying a date range for the adjustment date, ensuring that only adjustments within the specified timeframe are included in the report.

Column Selection: Essential columns such as facility IDs, SKUs, adjustment dates, quantities, users, descriptions, and comments are selected to provide insights into inventory adjustments. This selection enables retailers to identify specific products, facilities, and reasons behind variances.

Grouping Data: The query groups the selected data based on certain criteria such as facility IDs, SKUs, adjustment dates, and descriptions. Grouping the data helps organize it logically, making it easier to analyze and identify patterns in inventory adjustments.

Query Logic

Data Selection: The SQL query retrieves data from the shipment table along with relevant attributes and statuses. It selects fields such as received date, origin and destination facility IDs, expected quantity, shipment ID, transfer order, SKU, received quantity, difference, and status. These fields provide comprehensive information about the receiving process for inbound transfers.

Filtering Criteria: To generate the report for receiving, the query applies specific filtering criteria:

• It selects inbound transfer shipments with a status of PURCH_SHIP_RECEIVED, indicating that they have been received.

• The query further refines the dataset by specifying a date range for the received date, ensuring that only shipments received within the specified timeframe are included in the report.

• Additionally, only shipments with an external order name attribute are considered, indicating that they are part of a transfer order.

Column Selection: Columns such as received date, origin and destination facility IDs, expected quantity, shipment ID, transfer order, SKU, received quantity, difference, and status are selected. These columns provide insights into the receiving process for inbound transfers, allowing users to track and manage received quantities effectively.

Calculating Difference and Status: The query calculates the difference between the expected and received quantities for each shipment item. Based on this difference and other conditions such as the presence of an external order name and the status of the shipment, it assigns a status to each item indicating whether it was received correctly, over-received, under-received, or not received at all.

Grouping Data: The query groups the selected data by various attributes such as received date, origin and destination facility IDs, expected quantity, shipment ID, transfer order, SKU, received quantity, difference, and status. Grouping the data helps organize it logically and facilitates analysis of the receiving process for inbound transfers.
