Inventory Valuation — total stock value, stock distribution chart, and a paginated product table.

Overview

The Inventory Valuation tab shows a real-time snapshot of what your current stock is worth — at both cost and retail price. Unlike other analytics reports, this is not filtered by date range: it reflects your inventory right now.

Use this report before placing purchase orders, during end-of-month checks, or whenever you need to know the total value of stock on hand.

Value Summary

Total Inventory Value (at cost)
Sum of stock quantity multiplied by cost price across all in-stock products and variations. This is what your stock cost you.
Total Inventory Value (at retail)
Sum of stock quantity multiplied by retail price. The difference between cost and retail is your potential margin — shown as a percentage with a visual bar.
Products In Stock
Count of products currently carrying positive stock quantity.
Missing Cost Prices
Products with stock but no cost price configured. These understate your total cost valuation — add cost prices in the pricing structure editor for accurate totals.

Stock Distribution

The pie chart shows how your inventory is split between weight-tracked products (flower / weighed items) and unit-tracked products (everything else). This helps you understand the composition of your stock at a glance.

Unit Conversion

Use the weight unit selector to switch how stock and prices are displayed: grams (g), ounces (oz), pounds (lb), or kilograms (kg). Weight-tracked products show cost and retail per the selected unit. Unit-tracked products always show per-unit pricing regardless of the selector.

Product Table

The paginated table shows each product with its stock details. Click any column header to sort. Use the search bar, category dropdown, and type filter to narrow results.

Product Name
Product name with a type badge indicating pricing structure.
Stock
Current stock on hand. Hidden on mobile.
Cost Price
Wholesale cost per unit or per selected weight unit. An amber warning icon means no cost price is set. Hidden on medium screens.
Retail Price
Selling price per unit or per selected weight unit. Hidden on large screens.
Value
Total inventory value (stock times retail price) for this product.

Type Badges

Each product row shows a badge indicating its pricing structure: Simple, Weight, Unit, Var × Weight (matrix with weight tiers), or Var × Unit (matrix with unit tiers). Weight-tracked products show a purple W badge and unit-tracked products show a blue U badge.

Expanding Variations

Products with variations can be expanded with the arrow icon to show per-variation breakdowns including individual stock, cost price, retail price, and value.

Tips

  • Use this report before placing purchase orders — sort by stock to see which products are running low.
  • Products with an amber warning icon have no cost price. Add cost prices in the pricing structure editor for accurate valuation totals.
  • Compare the cost and retail totals to understand your potential margin. A large gap means healthy margins; a small gap suggests tight pricing.
  • Use the type filter to focus on specific pricing structures — for example, filter to Weight products to see the value of your flower inventory.
