How to read the price analysis to spot increases, compare suppliers on the same product and find duplicate catalogue entries.
Every recorded receiving line feeds a price history per product: price analysis groups this data to show trends over time, compare suppliers, and flag cases where the same product was entered more than once under different names.
KlyraOS groups purchase lines by normalised product name, showing how many variants (supplier, format) exist and how many price records make up the group for the chosen period.
Each group shows the current price, the previous period price and the percentage change, with a trend icon (up, down or stable) and a small trend chart.
Opening a group’s detail shows the average, minimum and maximum price per supplier that delivered that product, with the history of individual records: useful for negotiating or deciding whether to switch supplier.
When two product sheets seem to represent the same item under slightly different names, price analysis flags a possible duplicate: merging them makes both this report and food cost calculations more accurate.
You can narrow or widen the observed period to see whether an increase is recent or the price has been swinging seasonally for a while.
Where does the price analysis data come from?
From confirmed goods receiving lines over time, so the more accurately you record deliveries, the more reliable the analysis.
Can I see which supplier gives me the best price on a product?
Yes, the group detail shows the average price per supplier, highlighting the cheapest and the most expensive.
What does the duplicate product suggestion mean?
It flags two catalogue sheets that likely represent the same product: merging them improves report accuracy.
Does price analysis also affect food cost?
Yes, a correctly updated purchase price is reflected in the cost of recipes that use that product.
