Frequently Asked Questions
How is my inventory data stored?
Your inventory data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This means your data stays private on your device and persists between sessions. However, clearing your browser data will remove your inventory, so we recommend exporting regular backups.
What is a SKU and why is it important?
SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit, a unique identifier for each product in your inventory. SKUs help you quickly identify products, track them across different systems, and avoid confusion with similar items. They can be numbers, letters, or a combination of both.
How do reorder levels work?
Reorder levels are the minimum quantity thresholds you set for each product. When a product's quantity falls to or below this level, the system displays a "Low Stock" warning. This helps you know when it's time to reorder before running out completely.
Can I track inventory across multiple locations?
Currently, this tool tracks inventory as a single combined total. If you need to manage stock across multiple warehouses or locations, we recommend using separate entries with location identifiers in the product name or SKU.
How is the total stock value calculated?
Total stock value is calculated by multiplying each product's quantity by its unit price, then summing all products. This gives you an at-a-glance view of how much capital is tied up in your inventory.
Can I import existing inventory data?
Currently, products must be added individually through the form. However, you can quickly add multiple items by filling out the form and clicking "Add Product" repeatedly. We're working on bulk import functionality for future updates.
What happens when I export to CSV?
The CSV export creates a spreadsheet-compatible file containing all your inventory data including product names, SKUs, quantities, prices, values, and stock status. You can open this file in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet program.
How often should I update my inventory?
For accurate tracking, update your inventory whenever you receive new stock or make sales. Many businesses update at the end of each business day, though high-volume operations may need more frequent updates.
Can I undo a deletion?
Once you delete a product, it cannot be undone. The system will ask for confirmation before deleting to prevent accidental removal. If you regularly export your data, you can reference the CSV to re-add deleted items.
What's the difference between Low Stock and Out of Stock?
Low Stock items have quantity at or below your set reorder level but are still available. Out of Stock items have zero quantity and need immediate attention. Both are tracked separately in your dashboard statistics.
