  1. The Clover Software really should take a priority on helping retailers with the inventory management>export>reporting features. If you all are not able to enhance this area you should really not market yourself as a solution for retailers. The fact that you can't 1. See current items in stock only, not all entries you have ever had 2. Ability to see in and out of when you add things to inventory 3. The Item export report is TERRIBLE and the column headers are not even accurate ie- Revenue detail comes through on the label column and with the latest changes the…

  2. We are in need of a way to filter through our item list for 'uncategorized' items. Our store has a rather large inventory, and we have plenty of items that are floating in the abyss of our item list. It is time consuming to search every individual item in order to locate and sort them, and while exporting our item list to Excel is useful, it does not solve our problem in an efficient manner for we still have to scroll through the entire inventory list regardless of platform used.

  3. Hi! It would drastically speed up inventory adjustment to be able to bulk edit price and cost of multiple items. We want to be able to select multiple items directly from the "home" item page and enter a new price and/or cost that applies to all items selected.

    We have an inventory of over 12,000 items, most of which are art mediums with around 150 color variations each. These variations are listed as items in our Clover inventory, and with the recent and frequent price increases, selecting as many as we can on one page and updating the price one…

  4. Please make an option to Bulk Edit > Delete from within a category and subcategories. Currently we have to delete each individual item from within the item profile. Extremely time consuming. Bulk deleting items from within a category only deletes them from the category, leaving them uncategorized and lost in the abyss of a large inventory. We need to be able to delete items within a category from the entire inventory, not just from a category/subcategory.

  5. Inventory "Manual" reduction vs. "Automatic" reduction.

    When setting Inventory to automatically track reduction when items are sold, the "Manage Availability" option is defaulted to "Manual" instead of "Automatic."
    Which means that each time a new item is added, the merchant must remember to edit and change to "Automatic." It makes no sense. It should be defaulted to "Automatic" since the Inventory setting on top left show that stock levels will reduce automatically. Can this be corrected. I have a very upset Merchant who now has to go back and edit each inventory item. He has thousands of items and is…

  6. I am not a restaurant but I have been using the "alternate name" field for over 7. years and not on the restaurant plan. Suddenly that "alternate name" field is missing. I have a lot of key information in that field. I use it for part numbers and other descriptors for over seven years now. Removing that field from an existing plan without checking how it may impact customers, was short sided. Please bring it back to the other plans. I can still search for info in that field but cannot edit. What happened? Please had that field back.

  7. When we apply a 100% discount to an item, it does not auto-decrement from inventory. Please make it so comp'd items decrement from inventory.

  8. For my retail business, the default list of columns isn't useful and since the system times out every 15 minutes, we must frequently reset the column list or drill into the detailed item update (which is VERY inefficient). Since this app is targeted to retail, it is surprising Product code (UPC) and SKU weren't part of the default column list design. (feels like a hold over from the Clover restaurant focus)

  9. In the Item section, you can’t change the cost in Bulk Edit or Edit; you have to open the actual item to update the cost, which is time-consuming. It would be great to have the option to change the category and modifier directly in Edit as well, instead of having to use Bulk Edit.

  11. Currently, there is no way to bulk edit the items to automatically Track Stock. This is also not reflected on the Inventory load spreadsheet, so the only way to set items to be tracked automatically is to open each and every item and set this option - this is unwieldy for retail establishments with over 10,000 items. Currently, Quantity can be set via the loading spreadsheet but not the ability to automically track stock.

  12. Because many fields are not required when the data is entered, my convenience store staff have entered hundreds of items through the years with no category, no revenue code, no cost. Just a name, price and barcode. It is beyond painful to give hours of my life to export item sales... dig through it to find those records that are wrong. Then fix them.

    On the item list screen. Each filter option should offer blank, empty, or zero records. Heck, if you could sort the blank ones to the top. Imagine if a user could filter for all items with…

  13. When adding inventory - allow the admin to require some fields to be populated.

    I.e. - cost, category, revenue code. Basically any field should be required or NOT at the merchant's choice.

    This would force the user to enter data according to the requirements of the merchant and reduce or eliminate painful clean up tasks.

  14. Please, please, please fix your inventory export report to be useful to retail businesses. At this time, you only have the ability to export ALL items and the report comes out with latest items added. Plus, the headers are not even accurate and you can't quickly re-sort it because you have taken the Revenue/Category off every item and grouped them by variant. Retailers need to be able to pull an accurate report of IN STOCK by category/revenue stream at any given point. The only way to do this right now is sorting by items and printing a PDF that is…

  15. Made the mistake of deleting items I no longer have in my inventory from a Category on the POS. This Category has almost 1,000 items. Since everything needs to be manually entered and alphabetized, I wanted to make it easier when adding new items to this category by deleting items I no longer have in inventory. Upon doing so, all the items within this category de-alphabetized!! This is 4 YEARS of inventory no longer in alphabetical order. If items cannot be deleted from a Category on the POS without this catastrophic event occuring ,there should be some type of a…

  16. It would be very helpful to have the ability to add/edit the "alternate name" field within the dashboard or inventory app. This currently lives in the import template file only and we use this to print our product labels.

  17. While inventory can be imported, the functionality is limited to a spreadsheet.

    What would be really cool is the ability to import invoices / inventory via a photo or an upload of an invoice and have it import.

    Something along the lines of an AI Invoice / Inventory builder. A concept similar to the AI Menu builder in the restaurant vertical.

  18. In the inventory tab under price and next to Qty there was a Cost line please add this back. This is very important to have so we know quickly when updating inventory if we need to adjust the price of the item or when giving a discount, we will be able to quickly identify our margin. I do not understand why this would have been removed.

  19. Data entry should be fast and easy - keyboard only. Tab, enter data, and tab again until finished. NO SCROLLING! User should NEVER have to scroll 37 miles down the page to read what could easily fit on one page.

    Change the control property on each section to "can grow/shrink" instead of being hard formatted a particular size.

  20. Clover, please listen to us and not just mark not at this time. The retail inventory management view and reporting is horrible. Retail businesses run themselves on what is in the store and remaining not just what has been sold. The fact that you have that information for item sales so easy to view and export it should be the same for the in stock inventory. Having to print the item view that is so completely insane to view on a PDF is not right. Please don't just say not at this time, listen to us and consider that in…
