Inventory shows the parts and materials you hold, searchable by part number or description, with unit cost, sell price and the margin between them.
The margin column is the point
Every line shows what an item cost you, what it sells for, and the margin that leaves — against the target margin you have set.
Reading down that column is usually uncomfortable and always worth doing. Most businesses find at least one item selling below cost, and it is rarely one anybody suspected. Nobody prices something at a loss deliberately; it happens when a supplier price rose, or when a discount was applied once during a busy week and never removed.
Items with no cost recorded
Some items show no unit cost, because the field service system they came from never had one entered.
Those are not neutral. An item with no cost cannot have a margin, so it is invisible in every profitability figure it touches — the job it went on looks more profitable than it was. Filling them in is the highest-value tidying available here.
What it is not
This is a value and margin view, not a stock-control system. It tells you what your parts are worth and whether they are priced correctly. It does not track bin locations or count what is on the shelf.
For what things are priced at across the whole business, see the catalog.
Where the numbers come from
Cost and price come from your field service system, so this reflects what your team is actually quoting. Correcting a price here means correcting it there — this is a view of that data, not a second copy of it.
Items that have fallen below their reorder point are counted as stockout risk — the parts about to cause a second visit.
