How Cin7 reports inventory turnover.
A short reference for the finance team reconciling the number on this calculator with the number Cin7 returns. Report name, the menu path, the costing assumptions, and the one caveat that bites most often.
What this page is, and what it is not
This is not a buy/don’t-buy review of Cin7, and it is not a pricing comparison. Inventory turnover is a formula, not a software market: any general ledger that posts COGS and tracks inventory value can produce the ratio. This page exists for the moment a CFO runs our calculator on the trial balance, runs the Cin7 report, and gets two different numbers. Below is why.
Where the turnover report lives
Cin7’s report is called Inventory Movement and Stock-on-Hand reports. The path is Reports > Inventory > Stock Movement; Reports > Sales > Cost of Goods Sold.
What the report counts as COGS
Costed sale lines aggregated from order fulfilment.
What the report counts as inventory
Cin7 uses the average inventory basis by default. Our calculator defaults to average inventory (beginning plus ending, divided by two). If you want the two numbers to agree, set both to the same basis before reconciling. See average vs ending inventory for the trade-off.
How Cin7 annualises
Manual. Cin7 reports turnover by SKU and category for the report window; the user multiplies by (365/days) to annualise.
The one caveat that bites
Costing method (FIFO, FEFO, or specific) is set per organisation; switching mid-year causes a discontinuity that distorts trailing-twelve-month turnover.
Reconciling the Cin7 number with this calculator
- In Cin7, run Inventory Movement and Stock-on-Hand reports for the same window you used in our calculator (calendar year, fiscal year, or trailing twelve months).
- Set inventory basis to match: our calculator uses average by default; Cin7 uses average. Either change ours via the toggle, or pull the second balance point from Cin7 and average it yourself.
- Confirm the COGS number matches your P&L. If Cin7 is upstream of your GL (for example Cin7 or Fishbowl feeding QuickBooks), wait for the sync to clear before comparing.
- Apply the caveat above. For mixed-method costing or multi-entity roll-ups, the single-number turnover is rarely defensible without a per-segment breakdown.
Pricing context (for completeness, not the point)
Cin7 publishes list pricing. Cin7 Core Standard from $349/mo (2 users, 2 locations). See the vendor page for current tiers. Recent change: Cin7 Core (DEAR) and Cin7 Omni unified under a single brand in 2024; pricing pages refreshed 2025 and remained stable through 2026.
