Inventory value vs FIFO

Sapera's inventory value compared with a true per-layer FIFO value — and why they differ.

The Lagerværdi vs FIFO (Inventory value vs FIFO) tab compares the inventory value in Sapera (quantity × cost price) with a true FIFO value, where each remainder of a purchase is valued at its own cost price. The page shows where the two differ, and why. It is a tool for finding errors in setup and stock handling.

What the page shows

  • Cards with Lagerværdi i alt (total inventory value), FIFO-værdi i alt (total FIFO value), Diff (bogført − FIFO) (difference, booked − FIFO) and Diff %.

  • How much of the difference is due to: Heraf negativt lager (negative stock), Heraf lokations-ubalance (location imbalance), Heraf serievare (serial-number items) and Heraf kostprisforskel (cost price difference).

  • A table per department, location, item, variant and serial-number item with quantity, inventory value, FIFO value, difference, status and an Åbn (open) link that opens the item in Shop Manager.

How to use it

  • Search with Varenr (søg) (item no.) or Serienr (søg) (serial no.), and narrow down with Kategori (category) and Status.

  • Use Diff over (kr) (difference over, DKK) to see only rows with a difference above e.g. DKK 100.

  • Right-click an item and choose Drill through → FIFO-detalje (bilag) (FIFO detail) to see the movements in FIFO order, or → Lagerbilag (Inventory vouchers) for all stock movements.

  • Use Diff pr. dag (Difference per day) to find out when a difference arose.

Good to know

  • Negativt lager (negative stock): the item was sold before it was in stock (short across all locations).

  • Lokations-ubalance (location imbalance): negative stock at one location, covered by stock at another.

  • Serievare (serial-number items): items with serial numbers, where stock has been moved from the base item to serial-number items.

  • Kostprisforskel (cost price difference): the item was sold at a different cost price than the FIFO layer's.

  • Only rows with a difference are shown. The cards always show the total, regardless of Diff over (kr).

  • If you do not use the page, support can hide it for you — contact support.
