ow to build item report show the opening balance and closing quantity

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To build an item report that shows the opening balance and closing quantity, you can use a combination of NetSuite's built-in reporting capabilities and SuiteQL for more complex queries. Here's a general approach: 1. Opening Balance: You can use the "Inventory Valuation Summary" report to get the opening balance. Customize this report to add the date filter as the start of the period for which you want to calculate the opening balance. 2. Closing Quantity: For the closing quantity, you can use an "Inventory Balance" search. This search can give you the quantity on hand for each item at any given date. If you need to get this data for a specific lot number or vendor, you can add these as filters in your search or report. For more complex scenarios, you might need to use SuiteQL to query the data. There's a Suitelet by Tim Dietrich that can be used to get inventory balance history. You can modify this Suitelet according to your needs.
