The Item Price Change Analysis Report shows the purchase price as of the start date of the report versus the average purchase price over the date range of the report. It also shows the COGS Usage over the same date range and the COGS impact the higher/lower price has made per item. This can be ran for one or more locations to compare item price changes across stores.

This report will alert the User to the changes in product pricing from multiple Vendors on one report and how those changes impact the COGS. This will also help to point out incorrect invoice entries that can easily be drilled into by clicking on the hyperlinked item name and then the invoice via the Transactions tab.
