# Run an inventory report (`inventory_report`)

Valuation (what was held on a day and its value), movement (per item in a period, with the cost of goods shipped) or low stock.

valuation: what was held on as_of (default today) and its value at the moving average. movement: per item what was received, shipped, adjusted and counted from-to (default this month), with the cost of goods shipped, which the bot books if the business keeps books. low_stock: items at or below their reorder point.

Price: Free up to 1,000,000 reads a month for the whole account, then $0.50 per 10,000 reads. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

For the books, insurance, or a reorder list.

## Say this to your agent

> What is our stock worth today?
