@hfathy, generally you either use Inventory Items **or** you use Inventory OB + Purchased - Inventory EB - you can’t use both, read this lengthy topic [Inventory accounting using Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock](https://forum.manager.io/t/inventory-accounting-using-opening-stock-purchases-closing-stock/5252)

With F&B, inventory has quick turnover and/or it is mixed - buy coffee beans but sell coffee drinks. Therefore, if you want to do costings then it is better to setup spreadsheet calculation sheets.
