The Loss Report shows any documented loss and the details of that loss such as when it was processed and who processed it. This report shows only when a loss has been reported in inventory for a given date range.
In order to optimize our reporting, reports over a 2-week period will no longer be shown in our UI. Any reports over a 2-week period will be auto-generated and sent to the email you are logged in with.
- To access these generated reports in BLAZE, navigate to Data Export > Generated, you will find a list of generated reports you can easily download.
The Loss report can be accessed by navigating to Data Export > Transaction. It will be located in the list of reports.
