If you do not see these columns available, you may need to customize the page.
To view the current contents of a location:
- Select Reports>Quantity by Location. A list of locations appears.
- Find the location you want to view. If there are too many locations, or if you don't see the location you're looking for, you can filter or sort the list.
- To filter the list: If there are too many items in the list for you to see what you need, you can filter the list using the Filter and Contains fields above. More info...
- To sort the list: Click any of the column headings to sort by that column.

The first time you click a column label, the column sorts in ascending order and the upward arrow appears next to the label. If you click the label again, the column sorts in descending order and the downward arrow appears. Some columns are not sortable. You will not be able to click these columns labels.
