Total inventory on hand is worth $53,860.77 at average cost, across four warehouses in the DEMO Fishbowl database:
| Warehouse | Parts stocked | Qty on hand | Value | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LA | 50 | 82,238.06 | $22,420.13 | 41.6% |
| MI | 50 | 57,294.25 | $18,292.63 | 34.0% |
| Main | 30 | 25,889.44 | $10,507.63 | 19.5% |
| SLC | 6 | 3,461.00 | $2,640.38 | 4.9% |
| Total | $53,860.77 |
- Method: each warehouse's on-hand quantity is multiplied by the part's company-wide average cost; the company's costing method is Average Costing. Every stocked part has a cost.
- Cross-check: the four warehouses sum exactly to Fishbowl's own company-wide part cost total.
- Discrepancy: open cost layers total $59,120.36, about $5,260 more than the average-cost figure. I haven't traced which parts account for the gap.
- Scope: on-hand includes everything physically in each warehouse, including stock in receiving or other locations not counted as available. Quantities mix units of measure, so that column is only a rough size indicator.
