📌 Documentation Under Development

Dear Users!

Since OmniCraft ERP is currently in an active beta stage, with regular updates and expansions, the reference materials are also being updated gradually.

At this time, please treat the documentation as a guide—it is currently incomplete, may temporarily lack descriptions for certain features, or contain minor inaccuracies.

🛒 Finished Goods: The Showcase & Showroom Inventory

The "Finished Goods" tab is your digital showcase. It displays the active physical balances of all your manufactured items, their current cost price, and the recommended retail price.

Products do not appear here out of thin air. For an item to appear on your showcase, it must pass through the In Production tab (i.e., be completed on the Workbench).

📋 The Product Card

Each product is presented as a clean card containing all crucial inventory metrics:

• In Stock: The active physical balance in your showroom.
• Total Manufactured: A historical counter (how many units of this product you have crafted over your entire history in the program).
• Recommended Retail Price (RRP): The price automatically computed by the software based on your cost price and global markup (configured in Settings).

Dual Cost Pricing (Calculated vs. Actual Stock Cost)

If you have an item in stock, its card displays two distinct cost price values:

1. Calculated Cost Price: The theoretical cost of manufacturing the item right now using your current raw material warehouse stock.
2. Actual Stock Cost Price: The actual cost price of the specific units currently sitting on your shelf. It is retrieved directly from the exact batches you physically completed earlier.

Why Use Two Cost Prices? (The FIFO Method)

Suppose you crafted a bag a month ago when leather was cheaper. The cost price of that bag was $300. The bag was placed on your showroom shelf. Today, leather has significantly increased in price. The Calculator shows that crafting an identical bag right now costs $500. If the program simply updated the cost price of your older bag to $500, your reported profit margins upon sale would be heavily distorted. OmniCraft ERP does not do this. The program remembers that the old $300 bag is sitting on the shelf and will deduct exactly that figure when it is sold, ensuring cost-accounting accuracy for your net profit. This is called the FIFO (First In, First Out) method.

⚖️ Finished Goods Inventory Adjustments

Just like in the raw materials warehouse, physical reality can sometimes diverge from the software data (e.g., you gifted a wallet to a friend and forgot to log it, or you found a keychain on a shelf that was never completed on the Workbench).

To correct these discrepancies, every product card features an "Inventory Adjustment" button.

1. Select the adjustment type: Record Surplus (+) or Record Loss (-).
2. Specify the quantity.
3. Click "Save".

How Inventory Adjustments Affect Your Finances

Finished goods inventory adjustments do not impact your Cash Flow ledger.

• When writing off a loss, the program simply removes the oldest batches (using FIFO) from showroom stock. No money is deducted from your Cash Flow Ledger, as this is purely an inventory correction.
• When recording a surplus, the program adds the item to your showroom shelf and assigns it the current calculated cost price from the Calculator.

Do Not Use Inventory Adjustments for Sales!

Writing off a loss simply removes the product from stock without generating revenue. If you gave an item to a client, always process it through the Sales tab, even if you provided a 100% discount. In that case, simply process the sale with a price of $0 so that the program accurately logs the cost price of that item as an operational loss.
