Inventory Valuation
Frozen StockSnapshots reconcile exact remaining owned CostLayers by Product, Category, Warehouse and cost method in the installation valuation currency. Include picked/held/damaged owned stock and source-carried in-transit stock once; third-party custody is a separate non-owned quantity disclosure. Unknown costs block a final snapshot. AccountingExports sends only unaccepted event deltas; the closing value is a control balance, never another full-value journal.
View On-Hand by WarehouseInventory Turns & DOH
Net carrying cost of effective SalesPick and InternalUsage final issues in the selected interval divided by the time-weighted owned inventory value over that same interval; simple internal movements, supplier returns, samples, scrap and adjustments are excluded from consumption and disclosed separately. DOH is interval days divided by turns. Customer returns reduce eligible consumption through linked original costs. Zero/nonpositive denominator or incomplete cutoff coverage is unavailable, never infinity or a manufactured zero. Category rollups sum compatible currency numerators and denominators before dividing.
View On-Hand by WarehouseStockout Report
Stocked active product/warehouse days at the declared local end-of-day cutoff with eligible QuantityAvailable at or below zero divided by all completely observed stocked active product/warehouse days. Never-received products participate through StockSummaries. Missing daily snapshots are reported as incomplete coverage and excluded from both numerator and denominator, not treated as in-stock days. It measures sampled daily availability, not continuous intraday service level.
View Low StockCycle Count Accuracy
First submitted blind lines within the frozen absolute quantity and percentage tolerances divided by all completed eligible first-count lines in the count-start cohort; explicit zero/zero is accurate, positive found stock is review-required. Duplicate/recount attempts do not expand the denominator or erase the original variance. Show signed and absolute layer-valued differences, discoveries and incomplete lines separately. Any A-item accuracy target is an agreed customer policy, not a product result.
View Cycle Count VarianceAdjustment Trend
Effective posted adjustment quantities and signed/absolute values by reason, site, posting period and original supplier/layer provenance. Trace bounded compensations once and retain original posting versus correction periods. Unknown supplier remains unknown; current primary supplier is not attributed to old layers. Standard-cost revaluations and accounting-only purchase variances are separate from physical shrinkage.
View Adjustments Requiring ApprovalABC Analysis
Rank positive trailing-12-month net eligible consumption value using the same SalesPick/InternalUsage and return basis as Turns, fixed valuation currency and disclosed complete-history window. Reviewed policy supplies cumulative cutoffs, deterministic ties and zero/negative-history treatment; proposed class changes require MasterChanges activation before altering count cadence. Internal relocations never increase velocity.
Expiry Report
Exact remaining lot/serial positions and layer values as of cutoff, split by owner/status and disjoint days-to-expiry buckets: expired, 0–7, 8–30, 31–90 and over90; no-expiry/unknown-expiry positions remain separately visible. Use the warehouse-local expiry cutoff; same-day expiration policy is explicit. Returns and later receipts preserve established expiry. Value at risk includes only owned stock; alerts and FEFO guidance do not prove a markdown, sale or quality disposition.

How the system works, what you can configure and how to get started.
How do I get started?+
Select Start now to create your account. Explore the system specification, or use Proto to configure it for your business.
Is this a full warehouse or manufacturing system?+
It focuses on inventory across warehouses, stores and stockrooms: shallow bins, receipt, putaway, issue, return, transfer, counting and replenishment advice. MRP, manufacturing orders, carrier shopping and formal quality management are outside this scope. Purchasing and financial processes remain external unless separately implemented.
Can it track lots and serial numbers?+
The model retains the applicable lot and serial through stock work, along with location, owner and custody. Each active serial has one positive position and one base unit. Later receipts and returns preserve established expiry; a move to a new bin does not reset it.
What is the difference between on-hand and available stock?+
On-hand describes physical positions, while eligibility also considers claims, holds, expiry, ownership and control state. Picked or in-transit goods may remain owned without being available for a new issue. Permitted viewers can see the relevant quantities without protected cost detail.
How are different purchase and stocking units handled?+
Product-specific conversions retain how many stocking units belong to the transaction unit. The conversion is frozen with the source. Quantity and unit cost convert together so a case, pack or other unit does not multiply the stock value twice.
Which costing methods are in the specification?+
Standard, weighted average and FIFO are retained, with source layers and effective allocations. One installation valuation currency applies. Foreign receipt costs need reviewed external conversion evidence. Historical transactions retain their original basis; changing a current product setting does not rewrite earlier costs.
Do small count differences always need approval?+
An independently activated policy can permit an eligible automatic correction only when every condition passes, including current scope, appropriate identity, known applicable value and all absolute tolerances. Required reasons and exceptional stock need an independent Inventory Manager. Unknown owned cost cannot be cleared merely by approving the difference.
What happens if stock changes during a count?+
The count controls all affected movement and value paths in its scope and checks both position versions and the complete identity population. Stale or expired evidence requires controlled recovery and fresh observations where work has resumed. An approved correction cannot simply reuse the original variance after it has already been posted.
Can we transfer stock and process returns?+
Transfers retain departure, arrival, remaining transit and any evidenced return or loss. Returns link to the original movement and remaining authorized scope, with physical arrival and inventory disposition kept separate. Financial refunds remain external; selecting a return status does not move money.
Can it create purchase orders or post our whole inventory value?+
Replenishment produces advice and follow-up for the external purchasing process. Accounting handoff uses independently approved incremental changes with exact source identities. Closing snapshots reconcile the balance; they do not post the entire inventory value again on top of accepted adjustments.
Can we bring existing stock and open work?+
Yes, through a planned and reconciled migration. Load current positions, remaining layers, active claims and partial documents once, preserving source identities and cutoff. Historical statuses remain nonposting evidence. A different eligible Inventory Manager approves activation after the full opening totals and unresolved work are checked.
Is there a per-user subscription?+
There is no per-user fee. The base account and ordinary manual work in the official interface are free. Machine work, retention beyond included allowances and model usage follow the platform rate card; implementation is priced separately. The pricing page explains credit packs, rates and behavior at a zero balance.
Implementation
Plan the first release around trusted quantities, costs and warehouse responsibilities.
Read the implementation plan- 01
Agree the operating boundary
Choose the warehouses, shallow bins and stocked product/site combinations in scope. Identify external purchasing, sales, service and accounting owners. Define when receipt, ownership, issue, transfer arrival and return disposition are established by actual evidence.
Team and ERP.ai - 02
Configure identities and controls
Set product units, product-specific conversions, lot and serial requirements, ownership and expiry policies. Choose the installation valuation currency and effective cost methods. Configure site access, protected costs, independent approval limits, count tolerances and reorder settings, then activate reviewed policies.
Team and ERP.ai - 03
Prepare the opening position
Retain source namespaces, cutoff dates, identities and digests. Reconcile current positions with remaining cost layers, holds, picked stock, claims and transit. Preserve partial-document history and pending provider requests. Current opening stock and its historical movements must not both add the same quantity again.
Team and ERP.ai - 04
Rehearse ordinary work and exceptions
Receive and put away a partial delivery, reserve and issue stock, transfer it between locations and resolve a return. Check product-unit conversions, original expiry and serial uniqueness. Test repeated scans, cancelled picks, unknown costs and an unresolved transit shortage.
Team and ERP.ai - 05
Rehearse counts and accounting
Begin a blind floor-stock count with its full scope controlled, then test a recount, discovered stock and a stale or expired lock. Reconcile goods physically away in transit separately through transfer evidence. Confirm eligible automatic differences and independent exceptions. Reconcile the opening value plus accepted incremental exports to closing stock, including cost-method changes and corrections.
Team and ERP.ai - 06
Accept and release
Have the operating owners review complete quantity, value, ownership, serial, claim and transit totals. A different eligible Inventory Manager approves migration activation. Enable new actions from the agreed cutoff, support the first receipt/issue/count cycle and retire earlier records after their outstanding work is accounted for.
