New in sellerboard: reorder alerts, sales velocity, flexible FIFO COGS, and year-over-year comparison

This release sharpens how you manage inventory, read your product performance, and account for cost. Four updates give you faster reorder decisions, clearer visibility into what’s selling, more control over COGS, and long-term context for your numbers. Here’s everything that’s new.

📦 Inventory: Reorder alerts on the Planner page

A new Action required overview highlights the products that need restocking now — and what’s financially at stake.

The overview brings together the products with urgent reorder recommendations, the capital needed to restock them, and the monthly sales and profit you’d stand to lose if they go out of stock. Instead of scanning the full table, you can see at a glance where to act first, match your next order to available cash, and step in before a stockout costs you rank and revenue. Every tile on the Planner now works as a filter as well:

  • Focus the table on just the products in the risk zone with one click
  • Drill into stock by status — FBA + FBM, PREP, or ORDERED
  • Move between views without manually resetting your table filters

Enable it under Settings → Other settings → “Show reorder alerts on the Planner page.”

🚀 Products: Sales velocity column

Sales velocity is now a sortable column on the Products table.

You can rank your entire catalog by how fast each product is actually moving, which makes it easy to spot your top performers, catch products losing steam before it hits your revenue, and prioritize reorders, promotions, and ad spend around real momentum.

💰 Products: Choose how COGS is calculated for oversold units

You now decide how COGS is calculated for oversold FIFO units — units sold beyond what a specific inventory batch held.

Beyond the default (the last batch’s cost), you can set oversold units to zero so they don’t distort your P&L, or apply a fixed per-product cost that matches how you track inventory internally. sellerboard recalculates automatically whenever you change the setting or a product’s default cost, so your profit figures stay accurate. You’ll find it under Settings → Calculation logic → “COGS for oversold units (FIFO),” with the fixed value set per product on the Products page.

📊 Dashboard: Year-over-year comparison

Year-over-year comparison is now available across Charts, P&L, and Trends.

Compare any period against the same period last year, with the current value, the prior-year value, and the percentage difference shown together. That context helps you separate genuine growth from seasonal swings, recognize the patterns that repeat every year, and plan inventory and marketing with real history behind the decision. Just switch on “Compare Year over Year” in the filter settings.

All updates are live now.
