Items Prepare for Production report
Relates what you need to what you hold — useful if your business assembles or prepares.
What is this report?
A report for businesses that prepare or assemble products from components — it relates what you need to what you hold.
Where to find it
Reports → Inventory Reports → Items Prepare for Production, or /dashboard/reports/items-prepare-for-production.
Permission: reports:items_prepare_production.
Is this your report?
| Your business | The right report |
|---|---|
| Buying and selling finished goods | Items Need Reorder |
| Assembling a product from components | This one |
| Preparing or packing yourself | This one |
If you sell exactly what you buy, you will not need it.
Set your item types first
Every item in Pashkateb has a type:
| Type | What it means |
|---|---|
| Raw material | A component that goes into preparation |
| Finished product | What you sell to a customer (the default) |
The report is meaningless if every item is set as a finished product. Set the type correctly on your components.
How to use it
- Set your item types: raw and finished.
- Set realistic minimums on the components.
- Open the report and see what needs preparing.
- Buy the short components, or prepare the required products.
The report is empty?
Check two things:
- Are any items set as raw materials? If everything is a finished product, there is nothing to calculate.
- Are the minimums zero? Without a minimum there is no alert.
Tip
Open it weekly alongside the reorder report. They complement each other: this one tells you what to prepare, the other what to buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this report for me?
If you sell goods exactly as you buy them, probably not — use Items Need Reorder. If you assemble or prepare a product from components, this is your report.
How do I distinguish raw materials from finished products?
Every item in Pashkateb has a type: raw material or finished product. Set the type correctly on each item for the report to be useful.
The report is empty
Either no items are set as raw materials, or the minimums are all zero. Check your item types and their minimums.
