What an inventory item card shows

Each inventory item card shows the most important information about one stock item without needing to open the full item page.

Main item details

• Item name shows the product name.
• Status badge shows whether the item is Active or Inactive.
• Low stock badge appears when stock is at or below the alert level.
• Description explains what the item is.
• Supplier badge shows the preferred supplier if linked.
• SKU badge shows the item code if saved.
• View opens the item details page.
• Edit opens the edit page for that item.

Pricing and stock fields

• Selling price is the price you sell the item for.
• Cost price is what the item costs the business.
• Gross margin is selling price minus cost price.
• Stock shows the current stock quantity.
• Low stock level is the warning level.
• Unit shows how the stock is measured, such as pcs, kg, 500ml, bottles, or packets.

How to read gross margin

• A positive gross margin means the selling price is higher than the cost price.
• A negative gross margin means the cost price is higher than the selling price.
• If gross margin is negative, check whether the cost price or selling price was entered wrongly.

Example

• If Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml has a selling price of KSh 3,500 and a cost price of KSh 2,500, the gross margin is KSh 1,000 per unit. If stock is 2 and the low stock level is 5, Bizwazi can show it as Low stock.
