The Total Purch field displays the quantity of the item that has been received on Purchase Invoices. This field is not updated by Purchase Orders.
This field is sometimes set to zero at the end of each year using the Search & Replace function, enabling it to represent Total Purch for the current year only.
Note: The Total Purch quantity for any time frame may always be calculated using the Purchase Analysis and/or History reports from the Inventory menu in the Report Manager. These reports obtain values from the Purchase Transaction records and do not reflect editing of the Total Purch field.
