Report title in ERP: <b>Item Group wise stock</b>

<p><b>What it shows.</b> One row per item group for the selected period, with four blocks — <b>Opening</b>, <b>In</b>, <b>Out</b> and <b>Closing</b> — each showing the Quantity, and the Value when <b>Show Value</b> is on. A total row sums all groups. Click an item group to drill into its item-wise inventory detail.</p>

<p><b>When to use it.</b> Use it for period stock reviews at the group level — to see how each category of items moved and what stock remains.</p>

<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<p><b>How do I see values, not just quantities?</b><br>Choose <b>Show Value</b> from the <b>More</b> menu. A value column is added to each block.</p>

<p><b>Why are some groups missing?</b><br>By default groups with zero quantity may be hidden. Choose <b>Show Zero Quantity</b> from the <b>More</b> menu to include them.</p>

<p><b>Can I see the items inside a group?</b><br>Yes. Click the item group name to open its item-wise inventory detail for the period.</p>

<p><b>How is this different from Brand Wise Stock?</b><br>This report groups by item group. <a href="#/inventory/reports/brand-wise-stock">Brand Wise Stock</a> groups the same view by brand and also shows after-tax values.</p>

<p><b>Are child item groups included?</b><br>Yes. Selecting a parent group typically rolls up stock from sub-groups beneath it.</p>

<p><b>Why is my report empty?</b><br>No stock activity matches the date range, or all groups are hidden by zero-quantity filters.</p>

<p><b>Does this show current stock or period movement?</b><br>Opening, In, Out, and Closing columns reflect movement and balances across the selected date range.</p>
