Real-time inventory value calculations
Extend Commerce ERP platform manages different valuation principles for a stock, including manually, recent known purchase prices, averages or according to the fifo principle (first in / first out). The difficulty in getting correct inventory values both on an individual item and on the total value is about the fact that the purchase price is usually not exactly known at reception and when the supplier invoice with a correct purchase price arrives, all or part of the stock can already be consumed.
The platform has control over revaluations based on this and handles two different stock prices on item, to ensure the sum of the number of an article * stock price is always equal to the stock value from supplier invoices.
If conversions are made based on supplier invoices, The platform creates transactions for both the inventory value and any cost of goods that have already been sold.

Previously, we used several different systems for invoicing, inventory management and orders, which meant that we had many sources of error. Among other things, we had to have updated stock balances in two different systems, which could not be automated. Today, Extend Commerce's system is our only business system. It covers all parts of our business processes, has minimized the number of sources of error, simplifies communication with our customers and suppliers plus it saves a lot of time. One example of increased efficiency is invoice management. Previously, one person worked four hours a week to handle invoicing. Today, the invoice is automatically created and sent via e-mail, EDI or mail. For us, it is a huge time saving that can easily be converted into crowns and ears.
