5 Signs You Need This Inventory & COGS Model
1Inventory counts never match your records: You rely on manual tracking across multiple files, and discrepancies keep showing up at the end of every month.
2COGS figures are always a guessing game: Your cost of goods sold is calculated inconsistently, making your gross margin unreliable and your pricing decisions risky.
3No clear valuation methodology: You are unsure whether you should use FIFO or Weighted Average, and you have no structured sheet to apply either method properly.
4GL reconciliation is a nightmare: Inventory balances in your ledger do not match what is in the accounting system, and finding the differences takes hours.
5No repeatable month-end process: Every closing cycle feels like starting from scratch because there is no checklist or standard procedure to follow.

You already have a fully integrated warehouse management system (WMS) handling your inventory flows end-to-end, or you need real-time barcode scanning and automated purchase order generation.
Can I track multiple warehouses in this model?
Yes. You can add a warehouse column to the Inventory Ledger and filter or pivot by location to track each warehouse separately.
Which costing method does it support?
The model supports both Weighted Average and FIFO. You can choose the method that fits your business and accounting standards.
Does it work for service-based businesses?
This model is designed for businesses that hold physical inventory. However, you can adapt certain sheets to track direct service costs if needed.
Is there a limit on the number of SKUs?
No hard limit. The model is built in Excel, so it scales with your data. For very large catalogs, the formulas remain efficient and easy to extend.
Ready to take full control of your inventory and COGS?
