So I get the concept of the My Cost thing. I can appreciate that. I take the
amount of money I have spent of whatever I am putting in my inventory, divide
it by the number of parts and boom.. cost. Except when I go to my inventory page,
the cost at the bottom isn't adding up to my cost. I'm sure the system
accounts for multiples of one part.. so what is happening.
Example:
Today I spent $20 on 1100 parts that I entered into my inventory. Rounding up,
that puts me at $.02 per part. But when I go to my inventory, the computer calculated
cost is all kinds of messed up...

Manage your Shop with BrickStore, free and open source.

For more depth you'd need maybe starting with programmed Excel sheets and
later having your own database server/application calculations...

easiest way ..
sell $20 worth, that covers your 'my cost'

everything else is profit
