Frequently asked questions

Can I reuse the workbook?
Yes. Use a fresh copy for each season or maintain one ongoing inventory file.

Are the calculations automatic?
Yes. Available stock, restock quantities, dashboard counts, category totals, and estimated purchase or production costs update from your entries.

Does this replace inventory software or professional advice?
