Print Inventory Adjustment Report in Connect

The Print Inventory Adjustment Report provides a detailed view of print items and their associated inventory adjustments for a selected catalog. This report helps ensure your Retail Management System (RMS) reflects accurate inventory levels after print materials have been issued or returned.


What This Report Is Used For

This report is available for any Connect user working with Flexible Access (FA) catalogs that have Print Distribution Tools enabled.

You can use this report to:

  • Track issued and returned units for all print items.
  • Identify net inventory changes for each item within an FA catalog.
  • Update your internal systems (such as RMS) to keep inventory accurate.
  • Monitor activity throughout the term—you can generate the report as often as needed.

As soon as print materials are distributed to students, data begins populating in this report.
