- Enables faster identification of high and low margin categories within a given period.
- Supports better stock management decisions by surfacing opening and closing stock movements per category.
- Complements the existing Variance Report for a more complete picture of COGS performance.
Change Details
- A new Category Stock & Margin Report table has been added to the COGS Summary page.
- The table displays the following columns per category:
- Purchases – Total purchases for the period
- Opening Stock – Stock value at the start of the period
- Closing Stock – Stock value at the end of the period
- COGS – Cost of Goods Sold for the category, with variance percentage
- GP – Gross Profit percentage for the category
- Categories displayed include Food, Drinks, Hot Bev, Others, and any other configured categories, with a Total summary row at the bottom.
- The table respects all existing page-level filters including site selection, currency, and date range.
Assumptions & Limitations
- Category breakdown is dependent on how stock categories are configured per site.
- COGS and GP figures are calculated based on stock take data entered for the selected period.
- Negative COGS values may appear where closing stock exceeds opening stock plus purchases within a category.
Impact
Users can now analyse stock consumption and margin performance at a category level directly within the COGS Summary page, enabling more informed purchasing decisions, faster identification of margin anomalies, and a clearer understanding of cost drivers across Food, Drinks, and other configured categories.
