How to run a Material Stockpile Report
The Material Stockpile Usage Report pulls together every stockpile payment recorded on the project, along with how much of each item's authorized value is still available for stockpile payment — helping you spot items at risk of being overpaid via stockpile before it becomes a problem.
Running the Report
From the Report Log, open the Material Stockpile Usage report and click Configure to set up your criteria:
- Date range (required) — Choose the date range of Material Stockpile entries to include. Quick shortcuts are available: This Week, Last Week, Last 7 Days, This Month, Last Month, or Reset to clear your selection. Defaults to This Month.
- Pay Items (required) — Choose which pay items to include. Populated from items that have been recorded in a Published or Archived Material Stockpile entry. Defaults to all eligible items.
When a field allows multiple selections, chosen values display as chips; if there isn't room to show them all, the field will show a chip indicating how many additional values are selected.
Click Run to generate the report, or Cancel to close the configuration without changes. You can reopen Configure at any time from the Report View page to adjust your criteria and re-run.
TIP: Double clicking the report will open and run the report using the most recently used report configuration criteria.
Viewing the Report
The report shows one row for every stockpile payment recorded against a selected item — so if an item has five separate stockpile entries, that item will show five rows.
Results are organized as follows:
- Items are listed ascending by Item Number
- Within each item, stockpile entries are sorted descending by Date (most recent first)
Each row includes:
| Column | Source |
|---|---|
| Section Number / Description | From the Pay Item list |
| Item Number / Description | From the Pay Item list |
| Stockpile Amount | From the Material Stockpile entry |
| Date | From the Material Stockpile entry |
| Remarks | From the Material Stockpile entry |
| Creator | From the Material Stockpile entry |
Report Summary
At the bottom of each item group, the report displays summary values (shown at the summary level only, not per row):
| Summary Field | Calculation |
|---|---|
| Stockpile Amount | Sum of all Stockpile Amount values recorded for the item |
| Authorized Amount | Item's Unit Price × Authorized Quantity |
| Item Recorded Amount | Total dollar amount recorded and paid for the item through its Pay Item |
| Stockpile Threshold | The item's Stockpile Threshold percentage, set on the Pay Item list. Shows -- if not set |
| Stockpile Amount Allowed | The maximum stockpile amount currently allowed for the item: (Authorized Amount − Item Recorded Amount − Stockpile Amount) × Stockpile Threshold (capped at the amount of stockpile paid to date). If no Stockpile Threshold is set, the full remaining balance is assumed allowed |
An overall Total row also sums the Stockpile Amount column across all items.
Exporting the Report
