Visual ERP Inventory Deep Dive – Reconciliation Tool
Tired of Struggling with Inventory & WIP Reconciliation?
Reconciling your inventory & WIP can be a frustrating and time-consuming process. Inventory Deep Dive for Visual ERP is here to help! This powerful tool analyzes your Visual ERP database to identify discrepancies between your General Ledger and Balance Reports. Deep Dive quickly diagnoses the cause of the imbalance, whether it’s a general ledger issue, a costing layer problem, or something else.
Uncover Inventory Inconsistencies with Ease
Deep Dive goes beyond simply identifying differences. It allows you to:
- Compare General Ledger postings to Inventory Balance Report by part ID: With a single click, pinpoint the exact parts and transactions causing inconsistencies.
- Fix errors on the fly: Deep Dive offers the option to automatically correct certain issues.
Gain Confidence in WIP Balance Reporting
Deep Dive helps reconciling the General Ledger and WIP Balance Report. But it goes beyond that. It has audits to validate that the work orders on the list are “real”.
- Identify problem closed work orders. We will identify them and provide you the ability to remove them from the report.
- Find “old” work orders. Easily see if the work order has not had an activity for over 100 days (or you pick the # of days.) Quickly provide the report to operations to review.
- Discover work orders that are over 90% complete. Should these be closed?
Gain Inventory Insights at a Glance
Deep Dive provides a comprehensive “Deep Dive Summary” dashboard, giving you a clear view of:
- General Ledger and costing layer problems
- Inventory valuation vs. balance report discrepancies (even after month-end)
- Mismatches between postings and inventory transactions for all journal types
- Product code changes impacting inventory categorization
- Data errors and inconsistencies
- Enhanced confidence in WIP Balance Report validity

Deep Dive is a lifesaving device for all costing issues!!! I highly recommend it!!
Cindy Clark, Manufacturing Controller Shur-Co
We have been using Visual since 2015. Reconciling inventory at the end of every month was a guessing game at best. Finding “issues” was usually by luck and not by any methodical process. It was also consuming a good deal of time and many times resulted in adjusting entries to tie reports to the general ledger. It was very frustrating. One of our staff had received an email about Deep Dive. I reached for information and decided to do a trial. What could it hurt, right? It was truly amazing! We quickly upgraded from the trial to the full version of Deep Dive. With the software, we have been able to go back and remove all manual entries from 2015 to present and actually fix the underlying issues. I now have the ability to drill down to the work order level to find an issue. I can give feedback to the users on processes that lead to issues. Most importantly, I can do this all in a timely manner with results! I am amazed at how quickly the software can find the issues and lead me down the path to solving the underlying issue. Many times, this can be done with the “fix button”, which takes literally seconds. If this option is not available, I can drill down to the work order and the type of issue involved and find the help to fix the issue. I am very satisfied with the results of Deep Dive and highly recommend taking a look if reconciling your inventory is a monthly source of frustration. Thanks again!!

I just wanted to thank you for everything that you did for me after the “wheels fell off” our database. I logged a session with you and you talked me off the edge and told me that all was going to be OK. You used a demo version of Deep Dive and explained to me where we needed to go. You developed a plan that would put things back in order. We started with the Inventory Balance Report and Inventory GL being out of balance at over $1 million dollars. We continued with a few sessions and Deep Dive and got things down to around $500. I am now $0.37 difference in with the Inventory Balance Vs GL using Deep Dive. During our sessions with Deep Dive there were issues that I did not even know existed. I currently have balances at a place that I think that a database should be. Deep Dive is teaching me so much about how Visual works and where transactions are found. Every time that we work together, I always learn something. I am looking forward to the monthly Deep Dive classes. I would highly recommend your consulting time and Deep Dive to anyone that uses Visual. Even if you think your database has no problems, it is worth it to take a double look at your data.

“Can I just say how much I love Deep Dive!!! I haven’t even been able to dive that deep yet with month end/year end duties, but it has already been a tremendous help. By far favorite so far is Rollback and Inventory Balance vs G/L. Oh, and the Product Code Changes! Saved me so much time. I can’t even express the words. So, thank you:) Very happy Customer!”

“Firstly, DeepDive is simply wonderful. I’ve been working through inventory reconciliation on all 3 businesses and I would never have been able to get to the point where I am at. It’s amazing at identifying the needles in the haystack.”
Brendan Thompson, Phoenix Electrotek
“With the reconciliation tool, I was able to find my lost inventory from earlier this year and it’s helping me keep the inventory on track. As of my last posting, I’m off by $11.86, and I know why!”
