Inventory Turns (Finished Goods)
Inventory Turns, also known as the Inventory Turnover Ratio, measures how many times a company sells and replaces its finished goods inventory during a specific period (typically annually).
This metric helps companies compare their inventory efficiency against industry peers or established benchmarks.
NetSuite calculates the Inventory Turns (Finished Goods) using the following formulas:
|
Inventory Turns |
= |
COGS / Average Value of Finished Goods Inventory |
|
Average Value of Finished Goods Inventory |
= |
(Inventory at beginning of year + Inventory at end of year) / 2 |
COGS: Derived from financial records (general ledger or income statement).
For example, Company A has COGS for the years as $12,500,000. The average inventory of finished goods for the year is $500,000 The Inventory Turns (Finished Goods) is calculated as:
|
Inventory Turns |
= |
$12,500,000 / $500,000 |
