What is the difference between Current Stock and Stock Tables in the cube?

There are 2 means by which you can view your stock information. Select one of the below from the 'Show Fields' drop down box :

  1. Current Stock Table
  2. Stock

Current Stock

  • Current Stock is as close to live stock as we offer
  • it is updated hourly, on the hour - update is completed by about 5 minutes past the hour
  • offers more stock field options such as Allocated, Layby, Pack etc...
  • Cannot be viewed historically, no matter your calendar selection, the result will only ever be the numbers from the most recent server update.

Stock

  • Also referred to as Historical Stock
  • Can be viewed against the Calendar down to the day
    • Some ERP's such as Netsuite require snapshots to be taken. 
    • As such, Stock can be viewed daily with snapshots taken at the close of each week to view figures historically.
  • Data only updates with the full overnight data load
  • Can be broken down by Location, Product, Time and Stock Transaction Type
