Valuation and Spend
Two of the most useful questions about an inventory are "what's it all worth?" and "where's my money going?". Gubbins answers both.
Where to find it: the Reports screen.
The valuation report totals what your inventory is worth, broken down by category and by location, so you can see where the value sits — which room holds the most, which category dominates.
Each item is valued through Gubbins' valuation logic: a manual current value where you've set one, otherwise purchase price less depreciation. So the total reflects today's worth, not just what you paid.
There's also valuation over time, showing how your inventory's total value has changed.
The spend report tracks your outgoings — what you've spent acquiring and restocking — over time, so you can see trends and spot where costs concentrate.
💡 Tip Break valuation down by location to find where your money is tied up — often a surprising amount sits in one drawer of "just in case" spares.
ℹ️ Note Accurate valuation and spend depend on items having prices and acquired dates. The data hygiene report flags records missing them, so you can fill the gaps.
