Low Stock Report: How to Add a Manufacturer/Brand column?

Question

In the low stock report I need to add the manufacturer/brand as a column for each ID or product name, so that I'm able to prepare stock requests per manufacturer.

Any help to accomplish this is very welcome.

Answer 1

Hope you have override the core Class for Increase stock.

Step 1: Override the grid Class in local folder.

Step 2: In Prepare Column add below Code.

 $this->addColumn('brand',
        array(
            'header' => Mage::helper('reports')->__('Pending'),
            'type' => 'string',
            'filter' => false,
            'sortable' => false,
            'renderer' => 'Namespace_Modulename_Block_Adminhtml_Renderer_brand'
        ));

Step 3: create File app/code/local/Namespace/Modulename/Block/Adminhtml/Renderer/brand.php.

Step 4: Copy and paste below code.

<?php

class Namespace_Modulename_Block_Adminhtml_Renderer_brand extends  Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Grid_Column_Renderer_Abstract
{
   public function render(Varien_Object $row){

    $data=Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')->load($row['entity_id']);
    $brandName=$data->getData('brand');
    return number_format($brandName,0);
   }
}

Step 5: Refresh cache and check in your Grid.
