<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>

Go to <b>Inventory → Inventory Reports → Item Wise Material Request Report</b>.

<p><b>What it shows.</b> One row per item with the total <b>Quantity</b> requested across material requests in the selected period, along with the item group and unit. Use the <b>Type</b> filter to limit it to a particular material-request purpose. Select one or more rows to create a <b>Purchase Order</b>, <b>Purchase Invoice</b>, <b>Production Order</b>, or <b>Inventory Conversion</b> directly from the demand.</p>

<p><b>When to use it.</b> Use to consolidate material demand by item, to plan procurement or production, and to raise the next document straight from the requested quantities.</p>

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

<p><b>How is this different from Material Request Item Wise?</b><br>This report is an item summary — one total quantity per item. <a href="#/inventory/reports/material-request-item-wise">Material Request Item Wise</a> lists each request line with the voucher, ordered, pending and received quantities.</p>

<p><b>Can I raise a purchase or production document from here?</b><br>Yes. Select the item rows and use <b>Create Purchase Order</b>, <b>Create Purchase Invoice</b>, <b>Create Production Order</b>, or <b>Create Inventory Conversion</b>.</p>

<p><b>How does Create Inventory Conversion work?</b><br>Select the item rows and click <b>Create Inventory Conversion</b>. A popup opens pre-filled with the selected items and quantities; pick a BOM for each and save to create one <a href="#/inventory/inventory-conversion?id=multi-new">Multi Inventory Conversion</a> per item.</p>

<p><b>Can I limit it to one request purpose?</b><br>Yes. Use the <b>Type</b> selector (for example Purchase Order or Issue For Production).</p>

<p><b>Why is the create-button list different for me?</b><br>The available create actions depend on your access to purchase and production documents.</p>

<p><b>Why is my report empty?</b><br>No open material request quantities match the period and type filters.</p>

<p><b>What is the difference from Material Request document?</b><br>This report aggregates pending request qty by item; fulfil requests via PO, transfer, or consumable issue from selected rows.</p>

<p><b>Which request types appear?</b><br>Filter by Purchase Order, Issue For Production, Sale Order, and other <b>Request For</b> types configured in <a href="#/inventory/inventory-settings">Inventory Settings</a>.</p>
