Inventory & COGS

Manage Whatnot stock in WhatCopilot: low/out alerts, COGS, CSV import, create from sold SKUs, adjust quantities, and Orion analysis.

Inventory (`/app/inventory`) tracks quantities and unit COGS so you can protect live nights from stockouts and unlock estimated margin elsewhere.

Role

Bridge Whatnot sales history with operational stock — especially useful before high-volume shows.

Features

  • KPI cards: items out of stock, items low stock
  • Actions: inventory CSV import, create from sold SKUs, manual create (disabled in demo)
  • Table: product, SKU, status (`ok` / `low` / `out`), quantity, unit COGS, stock value, units sold
  • Filters: search, category, status (attention / ok / low / out)
  • Expandable row: alert threshold, linked buyer/net revenue, notes, last update → Adjust / Edit
  • “Seen in sales” badge; multi-select → Orion; account filter

Use cases

  • Prevent stockouts before a themed live
  • Bootstrap stock from SKUs already sold
  • Connect inventory into a show cockpit lineup before going live
  • Reconcile after a physical count with Adjust

Limits

  • Demo is read-only
  • Requires Whatnot shops; stock is separate from sales CSV imports

FAQ

Is inventory the same as the sales CSV?
No. Sales imports power analytics. Inventory is a separate stock layer you create or import so WhatCopilot can estimate margin and flag shortages.
Can I edit inventory in the demo?
No. Demo mode disables create, adjust, and inventory CSV import.
