Adding and editing items

An item is the core unit in PalmFlow: a single physical thing you own, with its own cost, location, status, and history. Get items right and everything else — profit, sync, reports — falls into place.

Adding an item

1. 1From Inventory, click Add item.
2. 2Fill in the basics: title, what you paid (cost), quantity, and condition.
3. 3Optionally add a SKU, a location, photos, and notes.
4. 4Save. The item enters your inventory with a status and a timeline.

If you'd rather not type, you can scan a barcode to start an item, or import a CSV in bulk.

Item details that matter

• Cost basis — what you paid. This drives every profit number. See Profit and cost basis.
• Status — where the item is in its lifecycle (for example sourced, listed, sold, shipped). See Item lifecycle and SLA.
• Location — the bin, shelf, or zone it physically lives in.
• Photos — attach images so you can identify an item at a glance.
• Custom attributes — your own fields (size, color, brand, lot number) on paid plans, so inventory fits how you actually work.

Cloning and duplicates

• Clone an item to create a near-identical one without re-entering shared details — useful for similar pieces from the same haul.
• Duplicate detection flags when a new item looks like one you already have, so your counts stay clean.

Editing and bulk changes

Open any item to edit its fields; changes are recorded on the item's timeline. For larger cleanups, bulk edit lets you update status, location, or other fields across many items at once on paid plans.

PalmFlow is inventory, eBay sync, and bookkeeping for resellers — in one place.
