Main issue: A user needs a printable/exportable list of the full current physical inventory. The built-in Inventory export only includes Available quantities and excludes Committed (unfulfilled) stock, so totals don’t match physical counts. They also note the Month End Inventory report can’t be run “as of today.”
Key terms:
Available = sellable inventory not reserved by orders.
Committed = inventory reserved for unfulfilled orders.
Physical/on‑hand = actual stock in location(s).
Suggested solution: A third-party “Stock Take” app (paid) that supports stock counts, valuation reports, error correction, and shows Available, Committed (unfulfilled), and actual counted stock. It supports barcode scanning and multiple devices; screenshots were shared. Images are illustrative, not essential.
Concerns/requests: Another participant objects to relying on subscription apps and asks Shopify to add a physical/on‑hand field to the raw inventory export. They highlight difficulty finding negative on‑hand at the variant level without drilling into each variant.
Status: No native Shopify workaround or official response provided. The request for a built-in export including physical/on‑hand and committed quantities remains open.

How do I print out a list of all current physical inventory?
If export in the Inventory page it only includes the Available inventory and not the Committed ones? Obviously does not match when taking physical inventory. The report for Month End Inventory can not be taken as on the current day?
If you’re looking for a stock-taking solution for Shopify, you can use our “Stock Take” app. The app can count inventory, generate a valuation report, and correct any inventory errors in Shopify. The app also reports Shopify (available) stock, unfulfilled (committed) stock, and your count of actual stock. Optionally, to speed things up, you can stocktake with a barcode scanner or your device camera, and use multiple devices at the same time.
I can see that the responses so far are partner apps that require subscription. Does anyone at Shopify understand that we just need one data field added to the raw inventory export data. We need to see physical count values in this export. Even working in the Shopify Admin you can’t identify an inventory item that has a negative value for on-hand if the item has variants and only one of them is negative. You have to open each and every inventory item down to the individual variants to see if the on-hand is negative. SHOPIFY - Please read this and correct the problem.
