# Get inventory item details

Look up one inventory item and connect its current stock position with recent recorded activity. Using the exact material code keeps similar sizes, finishes, and variants separate during a stock investigation.

Ask me for a material code, then show that item's name, unit, quantity on hand, minimum stock, and recorded unit cost. Summarize its recent inventory movements and state the coverage of those records.

## When to use it

Someone asks how much of a specific material is available or why its recorded balance changed.

## What you need

The material code or a sufficiently specific name, plus access to inventory and movement records in the selected workspace.

## What you’ll get

- The selected item's stock settings, quantity, unit, and available cost information.

- Recent receipts or usage records with dates and an explanation of the history covered.

## How to use it

Open the prompt in Millbase, sign up or sign in if needed, then review the editable draft before sending.

Follow up with a receipt-lot review when you need cost layers or remaining lot quantities. A recorded balance is a starting point for a physical check, not proof of shelf availability.
