So I am trying to do a store inventory but there is no easy report that I can generate that shows all my products and quantities. When I do the export option it is a complete mess when I try and look at it in excel or anywhere else as I have both english and non-english characters.

I love hikashop but my main issue now is the lack of good reports. That seems to be the one thing hika does not really have. Even a basic sales report and a basic inventory report would be awesome. Any ideas?

Go in the products listing, change the dropdown on the right to display all sub elements. Then, sort by quantity and you will be able to easily see the products without much stock. Also, in commercial editions, there is an out of stock notification plugin in order to notify you that there are out of stock products.

Regarding advanced reports, like sales performances per products, that's something we want to work on this year. In the mean time, you can already have some limited reporting with the widgets of the dashboard and our integration with google analytics.

Perfect does exactly what I want.

But there is one small problem. If my item has 3 variants how can I see the quantity in stock of each variant? Unfortunately variants don't show up on the products screen as far as I can tell.

That's where the second dropdown on the products listing comes into play :)
By default, it's set to display only products but you can change it to display only variants or both. So you will be able to see what you want.

You really did think of everything :) thanks!

Maybe you can add a simple Print Report / export report button there and we would be all set for a future edition!

Thank you again!

For the printing, you can print it with your browser print button. That will print the whole page though. To only print the listing, you will have to add &tmpl=component at the end of the URL in your browser address bar.

To export, just click on the export button and it will export all the product data.

Right I mean like a special printed report of just that view instead of the whole page. But what I have now is great for now. Thanks. And for an export it would be nice to just export the data that is in that layout.
