Order Summary Report
Use this report to get a list of inventory On hand, Invoiced, and Available currently or historically.
Using the historical look back you can run a report for the first of the month if was on a day your tasting room was closed, as an example. This will allow you to account for what was present on that day.
Using the immediate count is helpful for 'cycle counts', counting a portion of inventory on a regular schedule, rather than counting the entire inventory at once. Or when you need a quick view if what is present at the moment to count against what was on hand in the past and/or what was sold in the same time period.
- Summary Report Search:
- Select the Timeframe: Now or Historical
- Historical will require the following:
- Timezone
- Date
- Time (optional)
Once the criteria is enter click Submit for results.

Company Report
Products by Channel Report
Most reports available in eCellar are driven by the products sold per order which generate revenue for items sold, tax and shipping.
With the Inventory Module in use, and the fields are populated in Inventory SKUs, an additional report is available for cost of goods analysis, as well as pre-release revenue and post-release revenue.
This report is also a useful data spreadsheet to download into excel, and pivot data by sales channel.
There are two ways to view reports:
- From the ACP menu select Reports > Company > Product by Channel.
- Use the Date Pickers to select the date frame.
From the ACP menu search Orders and enter a criteria.
Note: While both work equally well in delivering data, we find using a search criteria is the best option to define exactly what data is desired in terms of segmentation
Scrolling to the left will expose the additional data, or export to Excel.
The data for this reports is generated from (optional) fields in the Inventory SKU setup.
Products must be mapped to inventory SKUs to be fully populated with data. Pre/Post Release Revenue is determined by sales before or after the (minimum) release date specified in inventory SKU setup. Most calculations are based on values specified in inventory SKU setup.
For additional information on creating Inventory SKUs see this Article.
Order Detail
In the Order Detail scroll down to the bottom to view the Inventory Transaction History, and review the detail of each SKU, the location, and the date/time of each SKU movement.
This is especially helpful to review when discrepancies in inventory transaction arise.
