Resale Products and Stock Tracking
- How to add and manage third-party resale products in BakeOnyx
- Track stock levels and set up reorder alerts for low inventory
- Monitor profit margins and generate margin reports for resale items
What Are Resale Products?
Resale products are items you purchase from suppliers and sell to customers without modification—like specialty flours, decorative supplies, or packaged goods. Unlike recipe-based products where costs are calculated from ingredients, resale products have a direct purchase price that you set when you add them to BakeOnyx.
BakeOnyx tracks every stock adjustment for resale products, so you always know what's in inventory and when to reorder. You can also see your profit margin at a glance and generate reports to understand which resale items are most profitable.
Adding a Resale Product
- From the main menu, navigate to Inventory > Products.
- Click the + Add Product button in the top right.
- Enter the product name (e.g., "Belgian Dark Chocolate Chips").
- Under Product Type, select Resale.
- Enter the Cost Price—this is what you pay your supplier for the item.
- Enter the Sell Price—this is what you charge customers.
- Set the Reorder Threshold—BakeOnyx will alert you when stock falls below this number. For example, if you set this to 5, you'll get a notification when you have only 5 units left.
- Click Save.
Your resale product is now created with an initial stock level of zero. You'll add stock through stock adjustments (see below).
Managing Stock Levels
Every time you receive a delivery from a supplier or use stock for another reason, you'll record a stock adjustment. BakeOnyx keeps a complete history of all adjustments—up to 100 recent entries—so you can trace exactly when and why inventory changed.
- Go to Inventory > Products.
- Find your resale product and click on it to open the product details.
- Scroll to the Stock Adjustments section.
- Click + Add Adjustment.
- Enter the Quantity Change (use a positive number to add stock, negative to remove).
- Select a Reason from the dropdown—options include "Supplier Delivery," "Damage," "Waste," "Inventory Count," or "Other."
- Click Save.
The adjustment is recorded immediately with a timestamp. Your current stock level updates in real time.
Understanding Margins and Profit Reports
BakeOnyx automatically calculates your profit margin for each resale product based on the cost price and sell price you entered. The margin percentage shows how much profit you make on each sale.
For example, if a product costs you $10 and you sell it for $15, your margin is 33%.
To view your margin report:
- Go to Inventory > Products.
- Click on a resale product.
- Scroll to the Margin Report section to see:
- Current stock level
- Cost price and sell price
- Profit margin percentage
- Total potential profit if all current stock sells at the listed price
Reorder Alerts
When stock for a resale product falls below the reorder threshold you set, BakeOnyx sends you an alert. This helps you avoid running out of popular items.
You'll see the alert on the Inventory Dashboard and in your notifications. From there, you can create a purchase order to reorder from your supplier.

Select 'Resale' as the Product Type, then enter the product name, cost price (what you pay your supplier), sell price (what you charge customers), and a reorder threshold. This threshold triggers alerts when stock levels get low, ensuring you don't run out of popular items.
How does BakeOnyx track stock for resale items?▾
BakeOnyx tracks stock for resale items through stock adjustments. When you receive new inventory or use existing stock, you record an adjustment in the product's details. You specify the quantity change (positive for adding, negative for removing) and select a reason like 'Supplier Delivery' or 'Waste'. BakeOnyx maintains a history of these adjustments, updating stock levels in real-time.
What information can I see in the BakeOnyx margin report for resale products?▾
The margin report within BakeOnyx provides a clear overview of your resale product profitability. It displays the current stock level, the cost price, the sell price, and the calculated profit margin percentage. This helps you quickly understand which resale items are contributing most to your bottom line and make informed pricing decisions.
Can BakeOnyx alert me when I'm running low on a resale product?▾
Yes, BakeOnyx features a reorder threshold setting for all resale products. When you add a new resale item, you can specify a 'Reorder Threshold.' Once your stock level drops to or below this number, BakeOnyx will generate an alert, prompting you to reorder from your supplier before inventory becomes depleted.
How are profit margins calculated for resale products in BakeOnyx?▾
BakeOnyx automatically calculates profit margins for resale products based on the cost price and sell price you input when creating the item. The margin percentage is derived from the difference between these two figures. For instance, if an item costs $10 and sells for $15, BakeOnyx calculates a 33% profit margin.
