It is absolutely essential to be able to see a product's inventory history. With the Inventory History in Thrive, you can see what caused a quantity to change, when it happened, and how much was added or deducted.
Inventory History is separated by location, and you can access it from multiple spots in Thrive.
Additionally, each integration should have its own version of an inventory history or audit log for each product. Compared with our Inventory History, it can be extremely helpful when investigating discrepancies or issues.

From the Bins View
Quick access: Click on the item quantity from the Bins View.
In contrast to the old Inventory History view, you'll see the Reason typed out instead of icons. Much easier to read!
The timezone of the location is also displayed for reference.
Available Actions
Filter or search: Find specific changes quickly using filters or search.
Navigate easily: You can also click into the Bin Details Page, Product Details Page, or Locations Settings from this window.
Switch views: Switch between variants and locations by clicking on the dropdown arrows. Super convenient!
Alternative Access Point
From Bin Details Page: The Inventory History is also available within the Bin Details Page, but accessing it through the Bins View is best for a quick look.
From the Variants View
You can access inventory history directly from the Variants view in the catalog.
Simply click the hyperlinked quantity for any variant to open its inventory history. Keep in mind that this view reflects data across all your locations, so the history shown here will include activity from every location by default. Filter by location if needed!
From the Reports section
Access inventory history directly from any report you're running!
Simple! Just click on any hyperlinked (blue) quantity in the report you're running.
The information you access from the Inventory page will be the same, including the ability to export as a PDF or CSV, switch between locations, and see the location timezone.
Seeing multiple deductions at one time?
There's no need to worry, this is by design.
Why This Happens
Since we track your inventory by lot, when a deduction is made, it can sometimes span multiple lots.
Example:
Let's say we deduct 15 units from a product in our catalog.
What you might see: Those next 15 units span three lots, showing three separate deduction entries:
Lot 1: 3 deducted
Lot 2: 11 deducted
Lot 3 1 deducted
Notice that the timestamp for all three deductions is simultaneous (e.g., 4:24:10 pm). That's an indicator that it all happened from one action—one adjustment that pulled from three different lots.
Your Inventory Settings preferences (first in, first out, or last in, first out) can be set on your Settings>Inventory page.
Product Audit Log
To see what changes were made to a product, like when it was created or last updated, that information will be in the Audit Log.
