We use the Inventory Sell Through report almost every day for vendor ordering, purchase orders, inventory planning, and transfers between our two store locations, so this report is critical for our daily inventory operations.
I appreciate that the new beta report seems to be aiming for more detailed reporting. Some of the added metrics are helpful, especially Net Units Received, because it gives better context for ordering and inventory planning.
The biggest issue right now is performance and reliability. The report takes a very long time to load, and sometimes it does not load at all and instead fails with this error:
“Couldn’t load this section. Something went wrong while loading this section. Details: Error: [MISSING_GROUP_BY] The query does not include a GROUP BY clause. Add GROUP BY or turn it into the window functions using OVER clauses. SQLSTATE: 42803; line 2069 pos 11.”
Even when the report does load, the delay makes it difficult to use during active ordering work.
The filtering workflow is also harder than what we need for daily use, especially the vendor filter, which feels less accessible and takes more steps to get to now. Since we carry thousands of SKUs, we need quick access to vendor filters, date ranges/sales history, locations, quantity on hand, and selected item-level metrics.
We also need the ability to save or keep preferred filter views, such as saved views by vendor, location, date range, and selected metrics, so we do not have to rebuild the same filters every day.
Also, the “Leave Feedback” button at the top of the beta report does nothing when I click it, so I wasn’t able to submit this through the intended feedback option.
Is anyone else seeing similar issues with the beta Inventory Sell Through report? Since Square says this beta report is actively being improved, I’m mainly wondering if there is an ETA for better performance, fewer loading errors, and saved/persistent filter views.
The beta version of the the sell-through is maddening. The fact the Square has rolled this out without the ability to continue to use the old version is even more frustrating. When they had updated the financial reporting the option to toggle between versions was available. I too use the sell-through report almost daily, I even developed an app that uses the export of that report to further help predict weeks of available stock and purchasing amounts. 3rd party app aside, I cant get the beta version to filter any of our inventory properly to view a functioning report. I'm currently ordering inventory by feel and sight. Not sustainable.
Same problem here. We use the Inventory Sell-Through daily for ordering, and the Beta version rarely loads at all. If it does load, it is painfully slow and never returns the correct information. I’m not sure what they are trying to accomplish with this BETA, but it is miles worse than the version before, and the feedback link does not work. This seems to be a perfect example of making something way worse just to incorporate AI. Please bring back the old version!
