Inventory Transfer Report cutoff in print

Hello,

 

We're having trouble printing off inventory transfer reports.  The name we have for items is long and gets truncated once we try to print.  Uploaded an image with most information removed, but the circle in read shows the truncated bit -- an item's name will end in "...".  Example, "Hats:Red:1234" will become "Hats:R...".  Part of the issue is we have fields taking up space we don't need: From, To, and Serial Number.

We've tried making this a custom report so we have more control over the fields and can hopefully get more page space, but QOH and Transfer Qty don't seem to be available in custom reports.

Any ideas here?

Inventory Transfer Report cutoff in print

Let me provide some information about printing an Inventory Transfer report, atoz800.

 

At the moment, the option to customize the columns in an Inventory Transfer report is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. QuickBooks will automatically shorten the item name in order to accommodate other columns. However, if you don't require the other columns, you can remove them by turning off bin location tracking. This will create more space for the item name. Just take note that despite having fewer columns, there is still a character limit.

 

Here's how to turn off bin location tracking:

 

  1. On the top menu, go to Edit.
  2. Select Preferences.
  3. Head to Items & Inventory.
  4. On the Company Preferences tab, click Advanced Inventory Settings.
  5. Tick off Track Bin Locations.
  6. Hit OK, and then OK.

 

I'll leave this article for more info on the Advanced Inventory feature in QuickBooks: Advanced Inventory.

 

For future use, here's a guide on generating and customizing reports to obtain valuable info about your inventory in QuickBooks: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.
