Every event, costed or flagged
The Transaction Ledger records each stock movement, sale and build. One that has no cost is marked Needs cost data instead of passing silently.
Missing Cost
Goods left the warehouse at zero cost. The margin report looks great. It's wrong.
When an item has no cost at the moment it moves, the movement is booked at nothing: cost of goods sold is understated, margins look better than they are, and inventory value drifts away from reality — quietly, line by line. Otiox's Transaction Ledger flags every event booked without a cost, explains why, and rebuilds its economics once the cost is known.

01El Desafío
A missing cost doesn't throw an error. It just makes every report a little wrong.
A product was set up without a cost price, or stock arrived before its receipt was priced. The warehouse ships it anyway — correctly. But the books record each unit leaving at zero. Cost of goods sold comes out too low, gross margin too high, and the inventory valuation no longer matches the shelf. Nobody sees it, because nothing failed.
- 01Stock moves are booked at zero when the cost isn't there yet
- 02COGS is understated and margin overstated — with no warning
- 03Inventory value and the general ledger drift apart
- 04Fixing it later means hunting through months of movements

Cómo Funciona
Funciones diseñadas específicamente para resolver estos problemas exactos.

Warnings at the top
The ledger summary counts missing values; a dedicated Missing Value view lists them all.

Why it's missing
Each entry explains what cost it looked for and where to set it — the product's cost price, a purchase receipt or a lot cost.
04
Rebuild Event Economics
Once the cost exists, one click recalculates the entry: unit cost, cost of goods, amount and the suggested journal entry.
05
Audit trail
The recomputed entry shows its cost source, when it was recomputed and its confidence, and the change is logged.

Preguntas Frecuentes
Respuestas rápidas a preguntas comunes.
01Why would a movement have no cost?
Usually because the product or material had no cost price when it moved, the receipt it came in on wasn't priced, or the lot carries no cost. The entry says which sources it checked.
02Where does the recomputed cost come from?
In order: the lot or receipt behind the movement, the item's weighted average cost, its most recent lot cost, then its standard cost price. The entry shows which one was used and how confident it is.
03Does Otiox change completed, locked entries?
No. Completed entries are protected and corrected through the reversal workflow. Rebuild applies to entries still flagged as needing cost data.
04What happens to the journal?
The entry's suggested journal — cost of goods or loss against inventory — is rebuilt with the real amount, ready to post.
