# Daily Consumption

> Review consumed quantities and cost across a selected period.

Daily Consumption helps your team review how inventory is being used.

Use it after products, modifiers, production, or linked usage has recorded consumption.

## Choose a Period

Use the date range controls or quick range buttons to choose the period.

Refresh the report after changing the range.

## What the Report Shows

The report summarizes:

* Total items used.
* Total quantity used.
* Total cost.

The table shows usage by storage unit and ingredient unit so your team can compare operational usage with stock units.

## When to Use It

Use Daily Consumption when you want to:

* Review recipe or product usage.
* Compare consumption cost over time.
* Spot unusual item usage.
* Check that consumption links are working as expected.

## If the Report Is Empty

Check that the item has consumption triggers or formulas, and that the connected workflow has recorded usage in the selected date range.
