Questions about Inventory Report Extractor.

Are the stock lines returned as a table?

Yes. The inventory items table returns one row per product with its line number, SKU and item code, product name and description, quantity on hand, expected quantity, quantity variance, unit of measure, unit cost and price, total value, reorder level, and status.

Which header fields does the inventory report extractor read?

The document number and date, the warehouse name and code, the reporting period, the count method (periodic, cycle, or perpetual), who performed the count, the total inventory value, and any tax amount, payment terms, and notes.

Can it flag count discrepancies?

The quantity on hand sits next to the expected quantity and the variance on each line, so a mismatch between the physical count and the system record is visible per item, and the reorder level shows which lines are due to be replenished.

Are the supplier and buyer captured?

The supplier name and address and the buyer name and address are read where the report names them, alongside the currency for the valuation.

What are the export formats and limits?

Download the items table as CSV, XLSX, or JSON. Uploads are PDF only, up to 10MB and 100 pages, and the report is processed via the Talonic API for extraction and not retained for training.

Doing this to one file, or to ten thousand?

The tool reads a single document. The platform reads the whole estate once and keeps it queryable — the same engine, with a memory.

See PDF to Markdown if you run this for data and platform teams, or the extraction API if you are building it in.
