Gateway of Tally > Display-Inventory Books > Movement Analysis > Stock Item Analysis
Item Movement Analysis is the next level of information (press Enter on the Stock Item or Display Inventory Books Stock Item Analysis). This brings up the Party-wise/Transfer-wise detail of Movements. The Inward detail displays the Basic Invoice Rate and Effective Rate.
This report helps you compare Purchase Costs across different suppliers. For example, Supplier A may have a lower Basic Invoice Rate as compared to Supplier B, though the Effective Rate may be higher (perhaps due to differences in Taxes, Packing Costs, Freight Costs etc). Suppose a material is manufactured in-house as well as purchased, the difference in Purchase Costs and In-house Costs can be checked. Select multiple columns for different periods, to view the changes in the Effective Rate for purchases.
Press Enter on the Party Name or Stock Journal Name to display the transaction-level details on Date of goods received/sold, Quantities, Basic Rates, Addl. Costs, and Effective Rate for each transaction..
The default screen displays the Addl.Costs (if any), in a single column. To view the spread of costs, press F12: Configure and select to view Show Addl. Costs. This brings up the bifurcation of all Additional Costs.
