Hello everyone — thanks for bringing this up. We do not currently offer a specific report that accounts for beginning and ending inventory levels. I can definitely see how this report would streamline your reporting needs if this was built into the dashboard.

For now, you might want to consider having a look at our partner apps for robust inventory reporting solutions.

In addition, I want to let you know that I'm sharing your insight with our product liaison team. Keep in touch for updates!

@BBG - You'll need to navigate to a location specific dashboard first. Here is how:

1. Navigate to the Items tab of your Square Dashboard

2. Click on any item.

3. Under "Inventory," select a Location and press "Go."

Hope this helps! 

Hi Sean - yes, thanks, I figured that out, but it's a real pain!  I used to be able to manage my inventory from the main page.  I have only one location, and now there are so many more steps required to update inventory.  Any hope that Square will go back to having access to manage inventory from main page with one location?

@BBG - In fact. yes! Some time after the New Year, you won't have to navigate to a location specific dashboard. 👍

YAY!!!!  Thanks so much.  I look forward to that! 😄

Is there a way to run this report for 12/31?  I don't see a way to enter the end of year date.

As Tom noted, there isn't currently a way to export this report at specific date, @lglatz75. Is that what you mean? 

I just began using my square for POS and am pretty amazed I'm NOT able to download a report of ONLY my available stock. 

Hoping to bump this thread. It has been about a year since this topic was discussed - wondering if a better inventory reporting function has been added - or is planned? I wasn't able to figure it out...

Any help/insight from the fine folks at Square? 😉 

Hi @Lex_A

Unfortunately there hasn't been anything new in regards to this with Square Point of Sale as of right now. Have you tried the work around suggested in this thread to see if it works for you?

If not, your best option would be to see if one of the App Integrations would accomplish what you need. 

Similar inquiry; our first year with Square POS which we then upgraded to Square Retail because basic didn't do all we expected it to do, even in a tiny, summer museum gift shop. We would like to print a summary report that shows starting inventory and ending inventory amounts for each SKU, to inform our inventory buying for next season. Not possible? Amazing ... and very disappointing!

@CIHS18 If you're still using Square for Retail (a separate app) the Projected Profit report includes starting and ending inventory for each month. This report is available from the Inventory section of your online Dashboard. Or is this the report you're looking at? Let me know so I can surface this feedback to the Retail team! 

There is no item Import Inventory in any of the drop down menus on the Item Library.

Hey @Thecollective - It should be under the Actions drop down (see screenshot).

To confirm, are you accessing your Item Library within your Square Dashboard on a computer? You must view it on a computer in order to find the option.

If you're still having issues finding it, please reach out to our CS team and they can help walk you through it.

How can I print inventory list only

@Worldsmartledkc This thread has the steps to export your item library. At this time you can't print from the Items section of your Dashboard but you could print the information in the exported CSV file! 

This works, but you can't seem to choose an ending date, like year-end balances. Any idea how to do that?

I have noticed that this question was asked and answered in 2016. It is now 2019 and I am still looking to see if there is a way to generate a year-end inventory report.  I cannot see such a report.
