in the stock display, is it able to get the stock value instead of its unit purchase price?

Is it possible to multiply stock's unit purchase price by the real in stock quantity/count in order to get a real inventory value, otherwise, this unit purchase price is kind of useless. is it possible is there a modification in the code i can do to make it happen fast?

The purchase price is consistently the unit price, I am strongly against changing this and making it confusing.

Use a report to get the total purchase value of your items.

How? Is there any tool in place? Do you guys have any doc summing up every field we can use to pull out reports?

The closest we have is https://docs.inventree.org/en/latest/report/report/

[SchrodingersGat]

It is imperative that we keep unit pricing which is independent of the quantity field. However it would be possible to add a new column to the table which calcules "value" based on purchase_price x quantity

[anonkwe]

This would be great and would make much more sense to have an overview of your in house stock and its value, is there anything i can tweak in the code meanwhile?

[winzkigermany]

Not too fast there, in purchase_price x quantity - which purchase_price ?
the last? the lowest? the highest? the weighted mean price?
I'm currently hunting a bug (or red herring) in the stocktake min/max value calculation, and in my opinion, calculating the value of stock is simple, yet not that simple. ;-)

The price at which the stock was purchased aka purchase price

[matmair]

The is a literal field on stock @winzkigermany

[SchrodingersGat]

@winzkigermany where purchase price is available for a specific stock, that is what is used here. This comes normally from the purchase order information.

e.g. "this reel of capacitors was purchased at a unit price of $0.02" vs "that reel of capacitors was purchased at a unit price of $0.15"
