Your Dashboard shows the value of the inventory that is managed through Optiply.
This value is equal to the sum of free stock multiplied by the current purchase price. We only look at products that can be purchased through Optiply. This number is reevaluated nightly.
The stock value is defined as
stock value = sum ( free stock x current purchase price )
In this definition free stock is the positive stock value for products connected to an active supplier. These are suppliers for which the lead time and reorder period have been filled in and are not ignored. Products that are disabled or assembled products are not taken into account. current purchase price is the current price of a product at its active supplier.
The stock value in Optiply is seldom equal to the stock value in other systems because each system has its own definition of the stock value.
Inventory Growth Percentage
The inventory growth percentage shows the month-over-month change in your inventory's value. This metric is calculated by comparing the current inventory value to that of the previous month and expressing the difference as a percentage.
A positive percentage indicates an increase in inventory value, while a negative percentage signals a decrease.
Your Analytics page displays the inventory growth percentage, which provides insight into how your inventory's value is evolving over time.
The percentage change is determined using the following calculation:
inventory growth percentage = ((current month’s inventory value – previous month’s inventory value) / previous month’s inventory value) x 100
This value is updated nightly based on the latest inventory data.
A positive value indicates growth, while a negative value indicates a reduction in inventory.
