Incoming Products by Month

Incoming Products by Month

Incoming Products by Month is a Stimulsoft operations report that lists the Products still on the way from your released Purchase Orders, grouped by the month they are expected to arrive. It answers a single question for your buyers and warehouse team: what is coming, and roughly when? Use it to plan receiving, follow up with suppliers, and anticipate stock arrivals.

Where to find it

Open Analytics > Operations Reports, select the Purchasing category, and choose Incoming Products by Month. Click Preview to open it in the report viewer, where you can print or export to PDF and Excel.


How arrival dates are calculated

The report does not require you to type an expected date on every purchase order. Instead it estimates each line's arrival as:

Expected arrival = purchase order date + the vendor's Lead Time (days)

Lead Time is a field on each vendor record and defaults to 60 days. Set a realistic lead time per vendor and the report's arrival months become accurate. See Vendors to set it.


What it shows

Each product line still pending receipt appears once, grouped under the month it is expected to arrive:

Column Description
Code The product SKU
Product The product description
Vendor The supplier the order was placed with
PO The purchase order number
Arrives The estimated arrival date (order date plus the vendor's lead time)
Pending The quantity still to be received
Pending Value The value of the pending quantity

Each month group ends with a Month total of pending quantity and value. The tiles at the top summarize the whole report: total incoming lines, total pending quantity, and total pending value.


Which orders are included

The report lists only Purchase Orders that are:

  • Released (not drafts), and
  • Not yet fully received (some ordered quantity is still pending).

Orders that are fully received, closed, or archived drop off automatically. A product appears once per open order line, so the same product ordered on two Purchase Orders shows as two rows.


Tips

  • If a group shows an unexpected month, check the vendor's Lead Time (days): a wrong lead time shifts the whole estimate.
  • Amounts are shown in your base currency.
  • Export to PDF or Excel from the viewer toolbar to share a receiving plan with your warehouse team.
