What Stock value and margin mean on the Business page
Understand stock value at cost, stock value at sales, potential gross profit, and low-stock value.
The Stock value and margin section helps you understand how much money is sitting inside inventory and what the stock could be worth if sold.
What to check
- Stock value at cost shows the value of active stock based on cost price.
- Stock value at sales shows the potential sales value of active stock.
- Potential gross profit estimates the difference between selling value and cost value.
- Low-stock value at cost shows the cost value of items already sitting in low stock.
- Stock item count shows how many stock items are recorded.
- Low stock count shows items needing attention.
- Out-of-stock count shows items with no stock available.
Useful tips
- Stock value at sales is potential value, not guaranteed money.
- Potential gross profit depends on items actually selling at the recorded selling price.
- If cost prices or selling prices are wrong, stock value and margin figures may be wrong.
