Inventory Value

The Valuation page translates physical inventory data into financial metrics. It provides a real-time view of the capital tied up in stock and the costs associated with recent sales. This page serves as the primary data source for accounting reconciliation and profitability analysis.

Financial Overview

The top panel displays two financial indicators. These metrics update in real-time as inventory moves in and out of the system.

Total Inventory Value

This figure represents the current asset value of all "On Hand" stock. It is the sum of the cost of every unit physically present in your locations.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS represents the value of inventory that has left the system over a specific period.

While Inventory Value measures assets on the balance sheet, COGS measures expenses on the income statement. You can adjust the timeframe for this calculation (e.g., "Last Month" or "Last Quarter") using the dropdown menu.

COGS Trend

The trend chart visualizes the distribution of costs over time. This helps operators correlate expenses with operational activity.

• Spikes indicate periods of high fulfillment volume.
• Flatlines indicate periods of low outbound activity.

Monitoring this trend allows you to verify that costs are being recognized in the correct periods, which is essential for accurate monthly closing.

SKU Valuation Breakdown

The bottom table provides a granular financial breakdown for every product in the system.

• Total Quantity: The physical count currently on hand.
• Average Cost: The derived cost per unit. This is calculated by dividing the Total Value by the Total Quantity. This helps normalize cost fluctuations across different receiving batches.
• Total Value: The aggregate value of that specific SKU.

You can use this table to identify which items are consuming the most working capital. High-value items with low turnover (high "Total Value" but low movement) often represent inefficient capital allocation.
