StockSmith v0.22.0

Added

• Switch a store off for a product. A product can now be turned off for Etsy or eBay.
  Off drops that store's panels on the product page, its variant-limit warnings, its
  compatibility-scan entries and its bulk SKU checks, which also saves marketplace API calls;
  a product with a live listing stays on. Each store has a "turn on for new products by
  default" setting and a one-off all-on/all-off prompt on its settings page (reconnecting the
  same shop never asks again). Also new: sold_on_etsy/sold_on_ebay CSV columns, a "Sold
  on" filter on the products list, store chips on the new-product form, and a "Don't sell
  this on eBay" action in the variant-limit popup. The "shipping profile missing" alert now
  only counts products that are on for that store.
• eBay refunds are recorded. A refunded eBay order used to count the returned money as
  profit and never showed a Refunded figure. Refunds are now read from eBay and shown on the
  order, and a warning appears if a refund exceeds what the buyer paid.
• Second Etsy parcels are picked up. When Etsy lists more than one shipment on an order,
  each extra one now appears as a replacement parcel awaiting review, instead of never
  coming back for assignment. Completing a label-less placeholder parcel retires it and
  carries its tracking over.
• Personalised order lines are flagged. A small star badge on an orders-list line shows
  that the buyer supplied personalisation; hover it to read the text.

Changed

• Orders list no longer shows a margin for orders that haven't shipped. Before shipping,
  postage cost is only the shipping profile's estimate (or missing), so the margin read as
  more certain than it was and was often overstated. Those rows now say "Before shipping"
  under the net profit figure; the margin appears once the order ships.
• Hand-edited variant BOM lines survive bulk amend. Lines you set in a variant's own BOM
  editor are now left alone by default; the preview lists what was skipped, and a checkbox
  ("Also overwrite lines set by hand") includes them. Edits made before this release aren't
  protected, because their origin wasn't recorded.
• Same-coloured materials are easier to tell apart. The variant colour picker shows the
  full material name where two materials of a type share a colour (previously ticking the
  second silently replaced the first), and the Materials page flags such pairs with a
  "Merge into first" shortcut.
• Update dialog is shorter. It lists one line per feature and has a "View on GitHub"
  button, so a long release no longer pushes the Yes/No buttons out of reach.

Fixed

• Reconnecting a store keeps auto-sync on. Disconnecting and reconnecting the same shop
  used to switch auto-sync off silently. Connecting a different shop, or switching Square
  location, still starts with it off.
• Late daily summary and backups. The scheduler misread its last-run time as local time,
  so the daily summary and scheduled backups could go out hours late.

StockSmith v0.21.0

Added

• Connect a Square store and sync its orders. Square joins Etsy and eBay as a
  supported platform. Since Square has no OAuth app review flow worth going through for a
  single-seller install, connecting is a pasted personal access token plus a location
  picker (Square orders are scoped to a location) — reachable from the Stores hub or the
  store's own page, with a card to change location later without re-pasting the token.
  Orders sync on the same schedule as Etsy/eBay, with their own API usage budget and
  health/usage alerts. Square items are treated as StockSmith catalogue products, so
  there's no listing push, shipping-profile linking, or OAuth section on its store page.
  Orders also gain a Collect/Delivery tag next to the platform badge, driven by a new
  shared due-date rule (collect-by for a collect order, ship-by otherwise) used on both
  the orders list and detail view.
• Margin per variant, and a price range for multi-variant products. A variable-pricing
  group now shows its own margin summary, collapsing to a low-high range when variants in
  the group differ on price or cost. The price-history table's latest row also falls back
  to today's live variant sale price/margin range instead of a permanent "-" once a
  product is priced by variant.
• Alert when a marketplace-reported cancellation is awaiting review. A marketplace
  cancelling an order doesn't release its reserved stock until a person confirms a
  scrap/return-to-stock disposition — until now that pending state was only visible on the
  order's own detail page. A new notification (in-app and Pushover) fires the moment a
  sync first flags the order, and the order list now surfaces "Cancellation pending
  review" in the Fulfilment column with a Review action straight into the order detail.

Changed

• Daily and weekly order summaries. Revenue and net profit figures are now prefixed
  with the shop's default currency symbol instead of a bare number, and a new summary
  auto-marks the previous one read so a superseded period doesn't linger in the unread
  badge. The in-app notification list now only keeps the last 2 days of history, except
  unread notifications, which never age out.

Fixed

• Packaged backend 500 on image-from-URL import. Importing a product image from a URL,
  or anything else that generates a folder name from a title, crashed with a 500 in the
  installed app (never in dev). Fixed by bundling the transliteration module and data file
  it depends on into the packaged backend.
• cogs_pending false positive on a line a substitution left at 0 quantity. A
  whole-line variant substitution moves all quantity off the original order line onto a
  new one and leaves the original in place by design — that line was never going to be
  allocated or costed, so its missing cost snapshot no longer counts as a gap.

StockSmith v0.20.0

Added

• Rename and merge variant attribute values. The Variants tab has a new "Attribute
  values" panel listing each attribute's values. Rename one ("4 Stud Standard" → "4 Stud
  Std") and every variant carrying it is respelled, disabled ones included; no SKU
  changes, and the value keeps its SKU code so later generates stay in step. Merge one
  into another ("4 Stud Standard" → "4 Stud") and each variant is folded into the one
  that differs only by that value: stock is moved with a pair of stock adjustments so
  both histories reconcile, open order lines follow (as substitutions, so each can be
  undone), and the merged-away variant is disabled with its SKU remembered so a
  marketplace order still quoting it lands on the survivor. Where the two variants'
  BOM or kitting overrides differ, both are shown and you pick which survives. A
  variant that is live on Etsy or eBay asks first, then has its variation set to 0.
  Attribute names can now be renamed after variants exist, too.
• Merge two variants directly. "Merge into…" on any variant row does the same for
  a pair that isn't an attribute-value duplicate — one created twice by hand, say.
• Merge two materials. "Merge into…" on a material's Details tab folds a duplicate
  (a CSV import spelling "Brick 2x4 Red" and "2x4 Brick Red") into one: every BOM,
  kitting list, purchase, adjustment, substitute rule and stock-take line is repointed,
  and where a product already had a line for both the quantities are added together.
  Stock and average cost come out of replaying both purchase histories, so the cost is
  a true weighted average rather than a guess. Renaming a material to a name that's
  taken now offers the merge instead of failing. Materials on an open stock take, or
  counted in different units, can't be merged until that's resolved.
• A build can draw a short line from a fallback material. Recording a build used to
  fail with "Insufficient material stock" even when a substitute was sitting on the shelf
  — the pooled capacity figures counted that substitute as sellable, but nothing in the
  build path could actually use it. The Record-a-build form now works out what each line
  will draw against what's on hand and offers that material's active fallbacks for any
  line that comes up short. Picking one doesn't go through on Record alone: a confirmation
  spells out "28 g of PLA Ivory in place of PETG White" first, and the adjustment, the
  cost and the build history all name the material that actually left the shelf.

Changed

• Bulk BOM amend leaves blank fields alone. Amending the BOM across a set of variants
  — "change the material for every White variant" — used to read a blank quantity or
  material as "back to the base BOM", so it flattened each size's own quantity override on
  the way past. A blank side now keeps whatever that variant already had. Going back to
  base is still available, as an explicit "Reset to base" choice rather than a side
  effect, and the modal no longer prefills from the first matching variant.
• The fallback chip on the BOM override editor is gone. It recorded that a substitute
  had been used without moving any stock, which was the only thing you could do about a
  short line until the build form learned to draw from a fallback properly. The
  dashboard's pack-time kitting shortfalls still suggest substitutes.
• The product Stock tab no longer repeats itself. Its Free stock / Reserved /
  Buildable rows said the same thing as the cards already shown above the tabs.

Fixed

• A retired material showed up as a second colour of the same name. The colour picker
  on a product's Variants tab listed every material of that type, deactivated ones
  included — so a PETG product offered "White" twice, once for the spool still in use and
  once for one long since retired, with no way to tell them apart. Retired materials are
  no longer offered; one already chosen by an existing rule still is, so nothing set up
  earlier changes.
• "One listing isn't receiving stock updates" on a product whose Stores tab showed
  everything synced. A product linked to its listing before it was given variants
  kept that old product-level link. It was never shown again, but the hourly check kept
  pushing the parent SKU to a listing that only carries the variant SKUs, failing every
  time and lighting the sidebar warning. Links for units a product no longer sells as
  (the bare product once it has variants, a variant once it's deactivated) are now
  ignored by every stock push, cleared by the next Test Sync, and never counted as
  failing. Also applies to eBay.
• Etsy sync checks only saw active listings. A listing that had sold out, been
  deactivated, expired, or was created by StockSmith as a draft came back as "Not found"
  on Test Etsy Sync — which quietly unlinked it, so stock pushes stopped reaching it once
  it was restocked or relisted. The check now looks at every listing state, and reports
  such listings as "listing not active" instead. Unlinked listings in Tools sees them too.
• Etsy stock pushes to a listing with per-variation processing profiles. The write
  now sends the listing's processing-profile-by-variation setting back exactly as read,
  instead of dropping it.
• Creating an Etsy draft listing for a product with many variants failed outright. The
  draft's placeholder quantity was the sum of every variant's stock, and Etsy caps a
  quantity at 999 per offering — so a 392-variant product holding 15 each was refused
  before anything existed on Etsy. Quantities are now clamped to that cap on draft
  creation and on every later stock push, so a single variant with more than 999 on the
  shelf can't trip the same error later on.

StockSmith v0.19.0

Added

• Stock take sheets now mark the quick ones. A line is highlighted when nothing has
  moved that item since the last time you counted it — no adjustment, no delivery, no
  build, no order — so it should already be at the figure on the sheet and only needs a
  glance to confirm. Items that have moved, and items never counted before, are left
  plain: those are the ones worth your time. Two movements that cancel out still count as
  movement, and existing open takes won't show the marks — start a new take to see them.
  The exported CSV carries the same information in a no_movement_since column, so a
  printed sheet shows it too.

Changed

• "Set exact amount" is now called "Stock count". On both the material and product
  stock forms, and in their history, where a set now reads "Counted 53" rather than "Set
  to 53". Nothing about it has changed — entering an exact figure has always recorded a
  physical count, dated the item and stopped it showing as due — but the old wording made
  it sound like a database edit rather than the count it is. It is also what decides
  whether a stock take line shows as low risk, which is worth being able to see.

Fixed

• The eBay postage policy picker no longer sends you round in circles. Linking a
  shipping profile to an eBay postage policy asked you to reconnect eBay to grant the
  permission, but reconnecting never granted it, because StockSmith wasn't asking eBay for
  it. It now does. Existing eBay connections need reconnecting once (Settings →
  Stores & sync) before the picker will list your policies; order sync and listing pushes
  are unaffected until you do.

StockSmith v0.18.1

Fixed

• eBay order sync stopped dead on a bulk label purchase. When several labels are
  bought in one go, eBay reports that single purchase against every order in the batch.
  The sync recorded it on the first order and then failed with a database error on the
  next one — and because a failed sync never moves on, it failed the same way on every
  run after that. The other orders in the batch are now skipped for that label (with a
  note in the log) and the sync carries on. If your eBay sync has shown "Last order sync
  failed: UNIQUE constraint failed" since 19 September, this is the fix.
• Deleting a replacement parcel no longer un-spends its shipping label. The label
  the sync had matched to the parcel stayed on the order but silently dropped out of net
  profit. Resend labels that aren't attached to a parcel now count under "Replacement
  postage" until you attach them to one.
• Etsy shipping labels can no longer be charged to the wrong order. A ledger entry
  that only named the label itself (not the receipt) was being claimed by every order
  shipped in the following month. Such an entry is now left alone; only entries that
  reference the receipt or one of its transactions are recorded.
• Deleting an order that still has replacement parcels is refused until the parcels
  are deleted first, so the stock those parcels took is put back rather than lost.

StockSmith v0.18.0

Added

• Search box on the Orders page. Type an order number (with or without the "#"), part
  of a note, a product or variant name, or a SKU — including the raw SKU on a marketplace
  line that hasn't been mapped yet — and the list narrows to matching orders. Dashes,
  underscores, dots and slashes are ignored on both sides, so "hexrd" finds "HEX-RD".
• A warning before a variant change takes a product past a store's limits. Adding a
  variation attribute, generating variants, adding one by hand or reactivating a disabled
  one used to go through silently even when the result was more attributes or more
  variations than Etsy or eBay accept; the compatibility panel reported it afterwards and
  the push refused the listing later. Each of those actions now says what it would produce
  and which store objects ("This will result in 3 variation attributes; eBay supports only
  2") and asks before continuing.

Changed

• Listing profiles no longer have a default — each product picks its own. A profile
  decides the category, processing profile and policies a listing goes out with, and
  those are the parts hardest to correct once a listing exists, so they should be a
  choice made for that product rather than whichever profile happened to carry the
  "default" flag. The "Use this profile by default" checkbox is gone from Settings, the
  product's listing setup asks you to choose a profile, and once chosen it shows what that
  profile commits the listing to — category, processing, who made it, when, returns — by
  name. Products that were relying on the old default are pointed at it explicitly when
  the app updates, so nothing changes for them until you choose otherwise.
• Etsy's variation limits now default to 3 attributes and 400 variations, matching
  Etsy's third-variation support. A product with three attributes can be drafted to Etsy,
  and pushes to a three-variation listing send what Etsy requires to accept them. The 400
  figure is Etsy's cap once every property carries a SKU, which is how StockSmith lists;
  the limits editor explains this in a tooltip. An override you have set is kept.
• The stock breakdown table on a product's Stores tab (Reserved / Max from free stock /
  Quantity that would push) is gone: it repeated the On hand, Buildable and Sellable cards
  shown above the tabs.

Fixed

• eBay labels bought in bulk no longer charge one order for the whole batch. Buying
  several labels in one go from Seller Hub makes eBay book a single transaction for the
  batch total, and it reports that transaction against one of the orders in it — so that
  order's postage came through as the whole batch (£21.90 for a £3.65 label, on one
  order). Such a label is now recorded as "Not itemised" on the Shipping tab: it still
  counts as the original shipment, so a later label is correctly treated as a resend, but
  net profit keeps the shipping profile's estimate for it since eBay doesn't say what the
  order's own share cost. An order already carrying a batch total is corrected the next
  time its labels are synced (scripts/backfill_postage_charges.py --all forces this).
• Etsy listings that can't take a stock update are now flagged instead of retried
  forever. If an Etsy listing has several variations but its quantity isn't attached to
  one of them, every variation has to share a single number — so there is no stock update
  StockSmith can send it, and Etsy rejects every attempt. Until now those listings were
  treated as ordinary failures: retried on every hourly check, eating into the day's Etsy
  API allowance, and sitting permanently in the "listings not updating" count with Etsy's
  own unexplained error message attached. StockSmith now recognises the setup before it
  sends anything, tells you which listing needs changing and what to change ("tick
  quantity for the variation that should carry stock"), and stops retrying — it looks
  again once a week, or immediately if you use Push corrections after fixing the listing.
  These listings are counted and shown separately from genuine push failures, in amber
  rather than red, because nothing is broken: they're waiting on a change only you can
  make on Etsy.
• Saving a variable-pricing group with hundreds of variants no longer fails with
  "Something went wrong." Each variant was saved with its own request, all at once, and a
  product with a few hundred variants exhausted the backend's database connections part way
  through, leaving the group half-updated. The group is now saved in one request. When a
  request does fail on the way to the backend, the error banner shows the actual reason
  rather than a generic message.
• Unsaved edits in a product's Etsy or eBay listing setup are no longer lost silently.
  The profile, title and description on the Stores tab weren't part of the product's
  unsaved-changes tracking, so the footer said "No changes", and closing the panel,
  hiding the setup or navigating away dropped whatever had been typed. They now save with
  the footer's Save button like the rest of the product, and closing or hiding over unsaved
  edits asks first.

StockSmith v0.17.0

Added

• Replacement parcels. When something goes wrong with an order that has already
  shipped — a faulty item, something missing from the box, a parcel lost in the post — the
  second parcel you send can now be recorded against the order: what went in it (products
  and packaging, both deducted from stock the moment you save), why it went out, what the
  postage cost, and its tracking number. Replacement parcels sit in their own amber block
  on the order's Fulfilment tab, separate from the original order lines, and their postage
  and cost of goods are deducted from the order's net profit. Deleting a parcel puts
  everything back into stock.

• Marketplace shipping labels are picked up automatically. Every label bought through
  eBay or Etsy against an order is now recorded from the marketplace's own financials. The
  first label's real cost replaces the shipping profile's estimate in net profit (the
  Shipping tab shows both). A second label means a replacement went out: StockSmith
  creates the parcel with the label's cost, raises an alert ("Replacement parcel detected —
  needs completing", on by default under Settings → Notifications), lists the order under
  Awaiting shipment again until you've said what was sent, and the alert opens the order
  straight onto its Fulfilment tab. Etsy's ledger doesn't document how labels post, so
  Etsy detection is best-effort for now; a diagnostic line in the backend log records any
  ledger entry it couldn't classify.

• A one-off scripts/backfill_postage_charges.py fetches labels for orders that shipped
  before this release (dry run by default).

• Generating variants now asks what to do when two attributes land on the same
  material. A two-tone product whose Primary Colour and Accent Colour both pick "Apple"
  used to be refused outright ("a variant can only have one BOM line per material") with
  nothing to adjust, because the overlap is inherent to the combination. Generation now
  stops and lists every affected combination, and you choose: leave them out, or keep them.
  Kept variants carry both lines and their buildable quantity is worked out from the
  material's combined usage per unit. A substitution that landed on the product's own
  base line used to slip through silently and overstate how many could be built; it is
  now handled the same way.

Changed

• Net profit on marketplace orders now uses the actual postage label cost where one has
  been synced, rather than the shipping profile's estimate. Orders synced before this
  release keep using the estimate until the backfill script is run.
• Settings → Stores & sync is now a hub with a page per store. The hub shows one card
  per marketplace with the same facts in the same places — connection status, when it last
  synced, what needs attention, and Sync now / Configure / Disconnect — above the
  background-syncing and field-mapping settings. Configure opens a single-column page for
  that store, ordered by how often each part is needed: health and connection at the top,
  then Order sync (auto-sync, interval and start date, saved together with one button, with
  the run log full-width underneath), Stock pushes (every failing listing named with its
  actual error, plus the API budget), Listing profiles, Tools, and finally the developer-app
  credentials, collapsed. The old two-column layout never lined up between Etsy and eBay,
  and the sync log always scrolled sideways.
• The sidebar Orders badge is now the number of orders awaiting shipment — the same
  figure as the Orders page's "Awaiting Shipment" tab. It used to count only lines short on
  stock or packaging, so it could read 1 while the tab read 2 whenever an order was waiting
  for another reason, such as an eBay line needing its SKU mapped. It also updates straight
  away after cancelling an order, running a store sync, or adding a manual order.
• The Orders page refreshes itself when a background sync finishes. Orders imported by
  the scheduled marketplace sync used to sit unseen until you left the page and came back.
• In a product's Variants tab, the colour checkboxes and material pickers for a BOM rule are
  now listed A→Z by the name shown, rather than by the material's internal name.

Fixed

• "Write SKUs & link" on an existing Etsy listing failed with "sku must be consistent
  across all products". Any listing that had never carried SKUs was affected: Etsy was
  told the SKU did not vary by any option while being sent a different SKU per colour.
  StockSmith now tells Etsy which option the SKUs vary by, worked out from the SKUs
  themselves.
• The Stores & sync page could show everything green while the sidebar said "Sync
  problem". The sidebar counted every listing whose stock push was failing, but the page
  only looked at the last ten push-log entries — so a listing that had been failing for a
  while disappeared from the page and the two disagreed. Both now read the same figures,
  and the sidebar's "Sync problem" link opens the store page that has the problem.

StockSmith v0.16.2

Fixed

• A product's Variants tab failed to load, and adding variants ended in "Internal
  Server Error". Any product with a bill of materials was affected: the variants list
  (and the response after creating variants in bulk) stopped with a server error, so the
  tab stayed empty and new variants appeared not to save — they had in fact been created,
  and show up once this fix is installed. A change in 0.16.0 to how buildable quantities
  are calculated updated the single-variant screen but not the list, which was still
  reading the figures in their old shape. No data was affected.

StockSmith v0.16.1

Fixed

• 0.16.0 would not start after installing. The app showed "The backend did not become
  ready in time" on every launch and never got past "Loading dashboard…". Two changes in
  0.16.0 each added a database migration from the same starting point, and the migration
  runner refused to pick between them, so it stopped before the app could open. This
  release joins the two back together; no data was touched by the failed starts, and
  installing 0.16.1 over 0.16.0 completes the upgrade normally.

StockSmith v0.16.0

Added

• Shipping profiles can be linked to your Etsy shipping profiles and eBay postage
  policies, and take their buyer price from there. Settings → Shipping & packaging →
  Shipping profiles gains an "Etsy shipping profile" and an "eBay postage policy" picker per
  profile (Etsy connections made before this release need reconnecting once to grant the
  extra permission). The price you charge for postage is now split per channel the same
  way the cost already was — "Price charged (Etsy)" / "(eBay)", with the default used
  wherever a channel figure is blank — because the same service genuinely sells at
  different postage prices on different marketplaces, and margin counts that price as
  income. Linking changes no number by itself: "Pull price from Etsy/eBay" writes what the
  marketplace actually charges the buyer into that channel's price, an amber "Etsy now
  £x.xx" marker shows when the stored figure has drifted, and neither the default price nor
  any seller cost is ever touched. Profiles whose postage the marketplace calculates at
  checkout are labelled as such and have nothing to import.
• Linked prices refresh themselves. After a successful background sync, StockSmith
  re-reads the marketplace's shipping profiles (at most once a day per marketplace — the
  interval is adjustable, and "Refresh from Etsy/eBay" runs it on demand) and rewrites
  any linked price that changed. Every change is written to a per-profile Price history
  (when, old → new, and whether the refresh, a manual pull or an edit made it), so a margin
  that moved has an explanation. Two new notification types cover it: "Postage price changed
  on a marketplace" lists every profile that moved (digest by default), and "Linked shipping
  profile missing on a marketplace" fires right away, once, when a linked profile has been
  deleted on Etsy or eBay — its last price is kept, but drafts sent with it would fail.
• A product's shipping profile now decides how its draft listings ship. When the
  product's shipping profile is linked to Etsy or eBay, that link is the shipping profile /
  postage policy the draft is created with; the listing profile's own shipping fields become
  a fallback ("used only when the product has none") for products whose profile isn't
  linked. The draft modal says which was used. The Pricing tab shows "→ Etsy: "
  under the chosen shipping profile, or an amber "not linked" note when the marketplace is
  connected and the profile isn't; the readiness check now says whether the problem is a
  missing shipping profile or one that isn't linked, and where to fix each.
• "Suggest profiles from Etsy" proposes shipping profiles too. Listing-profile
  suggestions no longer split into one per Etsy shipping profile — two products that differ
  only in postage are the same kind of listing. Instead, each Etsy shipping profile your
  listings use that no StockSmith profile is linked to yet is offered as its own suggestion:
  create one (named and priced from Etsy) or link an existing profile, and products with no
  shipping profile are pointed at it. Adopting an existing Etsy or eBay listing likewise
  sets the product's shipping profile from the listing's, if a linked one matches and the
  product had none — a profile you've already chosen is never replaced.
• Linking an Etsy or eBay listing pre-fills the variation pairing. When you link an
  existing marketplace listing to a product (Settings → Unlinked listings → Review), the
  variation picker now arrives already paired: StockSmith attributes are matched to the
  listing's by name ("Colour" / "Color") or, failing that, by the values they share, and
  each variant is pre-filled with the one variation whose values fit it. A section above
  the rows shows how each attribute was paired and lets you change it; every row can still
  be overridden by hand. Etsy pickers previously had to be filled in entirely by hand.
• The dashboard values finished goods, and shows how long the shelf itself lasts. The
  Inventory value tile now adds finished goods (at build cost) to materials, and shows the
  split. "Time to stockout" now shows cover from what is actually on hand — a material
  with 10 on the shelf and 200 on order reads 0.9 wk · 200 on order instead of 19.7 wk —
  while the warning status still allows for the order arriving; hover the cell for the
  with-on-order figure.

Changed

• A material's fallback substitutes now count towards build and packaging capacity.
  If a material or box is short but lists an active fallback (Materials → Details →
  Fallbacks) with stock on the shelf, the product's sellable, expected-sellable and
  build-to-order figures are no longer capped by the empty shelf — the fallback's free
  stock is pooled in. The buildable figure is shown both ways so nothing is hidden: "10
  buildable (20 incl. fallbacks)" on the product header, Stock tab, variant rows and the
  products list. A line whose own shelf is empty still shows its ranked fallback
  suggestions in the build BOM and kitting BOM override tables, even when a fallback is
  already carrying the number — someone still has to choose which one to reach for. This
  is only a number: nothing is reserved against the fallback. Fallbacks pool one level
  deep (a fallback's own fallbacks don't chain in).
• The sidebar is grouped by workflow, with an icon on every row. Dashboard, then
  Sell (Orders, Products) and Stock (Materials, Purchases, Stock Take). Badges are kept
  only where they mean something to act on: the Dashboard badge (which double-counted the
  Orders and Materials figures) and the Products count are gone. A failing sync now reads
  "Sync problem" rather than relying on colour alone.
• New, never-stocked items no longer appear as due for a stock take. A material or
  product that has never held stock has nothing to count; its detail page says "Nothing to
  count yet" instead of an amber "Never counted". Anything that has ever held stock — even
  if it's at zero now — still comes due as before, and once counted, its cadence applies
  regardless of stock level.
• The fallback-materials picker only offers materials from the same category. A
  filament's fallback list no longer wades through hardware, blanks and packaging.
  Cross-category fallbacks you already set up still work.

Fixed

• Product margin now counts the postage you charge as income. A product's profit and
  margin (Pricing tab, product header, and the Etsy vs eBay comparison) were computed on the
  sale price alone, while still deducting what postage costs you — so a £20 item posted for
  £3.60 read as £3.60 worse off than its orders did. Revenue is now sale price + postage
  charged, the same base an order's net profit uses, and the platform fee is taken as a
  share of that whole amount (which is what the marketplaces charge it on). In calculated
  fee mode the fee £ is unchanged; the displayed fee % is now a share of the full amount
  rather than of the item price, so it reads lower. Manual fee %s are likewise applied to
  sale price + postage from now on. Margin history recorded before this change keeps its old
  figures.
• Undoing an order-line substitution no longer leaves a blank row behind. The
  replacement line the substitution created was left on the order at quantity 0, showing
  as an empty grey row; substituting, undoing and substituting again grew the order by a
  row each time. The emptied line is now removed (the substitution stays in the order's
  history), and existing blank rows are cleaned up on update.
