Inventory & Stock Reports

2 min readPublished June 28, 2026

Inventory Report Overview

The Inventory report tells you what your stock is worth and what needs attention. It values current on-hand stock at both cost and retail, highlights items running low, and surfaces dead stock that is tying up money without selling. When a branch is selected, stock figures reflect that branch.

Inventory Key Metrics

Four stat cards summarise the state of your stock.

  • Stock Value — total value of on-hand stock at cost, with unit and SKU counts
  • Retail Value — the same stock valued at sell prices
  • Potential Profit — retail value minus cost value, the profit if everything sold at full price
  • Low / Dead Stock — counts of items needing attention

Stock Value by Category

A bar chart shows how much stock value sits in each inventory category, revealing where your capital is concentrated and which categories may be overstocked.

Low Stock and Dead Stock

Two tables flag the items that need action.

  • Low Stock Alerts — items at or below their minimum stock level, with branch, quantity, and minimum; zero-quantity items are highlighted
  • Dead Stock — items in stock with no sales in the period, with quantity and the value tied up
Tip

Review dead stock regularly. Discounting or bundling slow movers frees up cash that is currently sitting on the shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is stock value calculated in Fixmo?+
Stock Value is the sum of each item's on-hand quantity multiplied by its cost price — what your inventory is worth at cost. Retail Value uses sell prices instead, and Potential Profit is the difference between retail and cost value if everything sold at full price.
What is dead stock in the Inventory report?+
Dead stock is items that are in stock but had no sales during the selected period. The report lists each dead-stock item with its on-hand quantity and the value tied up in it, so you can decide whether to discount, bundle, or stop reordering it.
How does the low-stock alert work?+
Low Stock lists items whose on-hand quantity is at or below their minimum stock level, with the branch, current quantity, and the minimum. Items at zero are highlighted so you know what to reorder first.
Is the inventory valuation affected by the date range?+
Stock valuation is a snapshot of your current on-hand stock, so it reflects stock as it is now. The date range affects the dead-stock check, which looks at whether each item sold during the selected period.
