Receive against incoming stock with partial receipts and tracking, and update cost when it lands. 📍 Shopify won't hold a perpetual average at receive. Inventory Mate writes true unit cost to the variant at receipt, or from SKU COGS, landed cost included. 🚀 See the cash impact before you buy. Manage suppliers in a portal.
