This blank Coffee inventory spreadsheet is designed to be a simple, periodic excel based system that will help you understand the fundamentals of inventory tracking and encourage good stock tracking habits.
To get started with the Coffee spreadsheet, if you haven't already downloaded it, enter your email address above. This will send you an email with a link to download the spreadsheet as a zip file. Once unzipped, the spreadsheet can be opened and used in both Excel and Numbers for Mac.
Once you have opened your spreadsheet in your spreadsheet program of choice, you'll see that it is divided into 7 tabbed sheets, each for a different area for tracking your inventory usage: Material Inventory, Personal Use, Purchases, Manufactures, Product Inventory, Orders and Reports.
The spreadsheet is designed to be used over the course of a single calendar year as it calculates your start and end of year inventory values. Once you have reached the end of the year, you'll want to create a new version for the next year, copy over your product and material tabs and then update stock levels and starting numbers.
Important note: Some columns are calculated and should not be edited - they are marked as a light turquoise color.
This sheet is for recording a complete inventory of your materials. The cost of these items are then factored into your estimated start of year inventory value*. You can also use this sheet to record your current stock of each material to see at a glance your stock status levels.
The sheet has 11 columns:
SKU This is an optional column for you to use if you have unique codes for each of your materials. [What is a SKU?](/blog/what-is-a-sku)
Name The name for your material that identifies it clearly (i.e. Blue Buttons 1.5")
Description A brief description of the material, used for identification purposes.
On Hand Qty This is the amount of this item you currently have on hand. You'll want to try and stocktake regularily to ensure that this number is as up to date as possible. [Learn about cycle counting](/blog/inventory-what-is-a-cycle-count)
Stock Status This is a calculated column that will show you at a glance which of your materials are in stock and which are out of stock.

Unit Cost: This is the cost to purchase this material for a single tracking unit. You'll want to ensure that this is the fully landed material cost (which is a cost that includes shipping and discounts applied to the purchase order).
Starting Inventory Value This is a calculated column, do not edit. This is used to calculate your total inventory value for the material from your starting quantity and unit costs.
Tracking Unit You can use this column to describe how you are tracking the material so that it is clear how the unit cost is calculated. You'll want to generally use the unit you manufacture in to make your manufacture cost calculations easier. Examples of tracking units are sq inches, beads, cm, bottles.
Preferred Vendor A place to note the vendor you purchase this material from the most (detailed purchase history is logged under your Expenses tab).

Quantity Purchased How many tracking units of this material you purchased.
Shipping Cost (proportional) This is the proportional amount of shipping applied to the individual item. It can be calculated however you feel best suits the distribution of the shipping amount across the items in the order. For example, you might use relative cost or weight to determine this.

A Coffee inventory template is a pre-designed document that allows sellers of handmade goods to keep track of their inventory. It typically includes fields for product name, description, quantity, price, and any other relevant information about the item. This template can be used by individual sellers or small businesses who create and sell handmade products.
1. Organize your inventory
Keeping track of inventory can be overwhelming, especially for Coffeemakers who often have a wide variety of products. Using an inventory template allows you to keep all your product information in one place and easily update it as needed.
2. Track sales and profits
With an inventory template, you can also record sales and calculate profits for each item. This information can be used to analyze which products are selling well and which ones may need adjustments or promotion.
3. By regularly updating your inventory template with sold items, you can easily see when it's time to restock on popular products. This helps prevent stock shortages and ensures that your customers will have access to their favorite items.Plan for restocking
