Inventory Analytics

Overview

Inventory Analytics explains demand, fulfillment, POS movement, and remaining stock for event items. It reads the same inventory dashboard data used by Inventory Tracking but presents it as a review page for logistics decisions.

Use this page when deciding whether stock still covers attendee demand, whether more items need to be prepared, whether POS sales are eating into reserved supply, and whether closeout counts make sense.

Overview chips

Chip	What it means	How to use it
Tracked items	Number of inclusions or add-ons with inventory tracking.	Confirms how many item lines the event is monitoring.
POS-ready items	Number of items available for POS sale.	Shows how much inventory can move through the counter sale workflow.
Below pending demand	Number of item lines where remaining stock is less than pending claim quantity.	Prioritize these items for production or stock review.
Last POS activity	Time of the most recent POS transaction, or that no POS sales exist yet.	Helps explain recent stock movement.

Summary cards

Card	What it counts	Why it matters
Need to produce	Total required quantity from confirmed attendee and dealer demand.	Use this as the production or preparation baseline.
Claimed	Quantity already fulfilled and handed out.	Helps reconcile physical handouts against records.
Yet to claim	Quantity still queued for pickup or fulfillment.	Shows the stock that must remain available for attendees.
Purchased via POS	Quantity sold through the onsite POS workflow.	Explains stock reductions not caused by attendee claims.
On hand	Current counted stock across all items.	Use this against physical counts.
Remaining stock	On-hand stock after claimed and POS-sold deductions.	If it is below pending demand, logistics must review before more claims or sales occur.

Item movement table

The table lists each tracked item with its kind, UUID, POS readiness, description, and movement metrics.

Field	What it means	How to interpret it
Item name	Item or entitlement being tracked.	Match this to the physical item or registration add-on.
Kind	Inventory category, such as registration inclusion or add-on.	Explains where demand comes from.
UUID	Stable item identifier used by QR, barcode, NFC, and POS tools.	Use when matching tags or troubleshooting scans.
POS ready badge	Item can be sold through Point of Sales.	Confirm price and policy before allowing counter sale.
Needs production attention badge	Remaining stock is below pending demand.	Stop and review stock before continuing fulfillment or POS sales.
Description	Item description from setup, when available.	Helps staff distinguish similar items.
Required	Quantity required by confirmed demand.	Production baseline.
Claimed	Quantity already fulfilled.	Handout progress.
Pending	Quantity still waiting to be claimed.	Reserved demand that should not be sold away casually.
POS sold	Quantity sold at the counter.	Walk-up sales movement.
On hand	Current stock count.	Source count for remaining stock.
Remaining	On hand minus claimed and POS sold.	If zero or below pending demand, review immediately.

Search

The search field filters by item name, description, UUID, or inventory kind. The status line changes from total tracked items to the number of matching rows and how many of those matches are below pending demand.

Clear the search before reporting full-event totals. A filtered view is useful for investigating one item but can hide other shortages.

Related actions

Use Inventory Tracking to edit on-hand stock, enable POS, or export item tags. Use Point of Sales to inspect counter sale behavior. Use Inclusion Claim when claimed counts need event-day fulfillment context.

Common mistakes

Do not assume a low remaining count is an analytics error. Check on-hand stock, claim history, POS transactions, and whether an item was intentionally oversold or under-produced.
