FAQs
What's the difference between cost balance and price balance?
Cost balance is the total amount you paid for the stock you hold. Price balance is the total retail value of that stock at your current selling prices.
What do the In and Out columns mean?
In is the quantity currently in stock. Out is the quantity sold or removed from stock.
Why can't I see any snapshots?
If you see "No selected snapshots", no snapshot has been created yet, or stock tracking may not be turned on for your business. Bookit creates snapshots automatically. You cannot create them yourself.
How often are snapshots created?
Usually once a month. Each snapshot shows your stock at that point in time.
Can I filter the stock report by category or brand?
No. The table shows every product in the snapshot. To filter, tap Download CSV and filter in your spreadsheet app.
Do I have to fill in Stock count?
Only if you want to track stock. Leave it blank for digital products or anything with no stock limit.
Is the Reference required?
No. It is your own product code for tracking items. Only Name and price are required.
What's Description 2 for?
It is a second text field. Use it however suits your business, for example a main description in one and ingredients or technical details in the other.
