Inventory 365
Reconcile inventory accounting with financial accounting in Business Central. Nature-of-expense method, floating goods evaluation, and G/L vs. sub-ledger analysis — by CKL Software.
Why inventory reconciliation matters
In Business Central, inventory and the general ledger are separate sub-systems. The item ledger tracks quantities and costs per item, while the G/L tracks account balances. They should always agree — but in practice, differences creep in through incorrect postings, missing cost adjustments, or timing gaps between receipt and invoicing.
Inventory 365 by CKL Software bridges this gap. It gives controllers and accountants the tools to find, analyse, and resolve discrepancies — before the auditor does.
Our perspective
We wrote the deepest inventory costing article available for Business Central. Inventory 365 from CKL complements this knowledge perfectly — it solves the reconciliation challenge that every company with inventory eventually faces.
Capabilities
What Inventory 365 does
Reconciliation, analysis, and extended posting logic for inventory in Business Central.
G/L vs. Sub-Ledger Reconciliation
See at a glance whether stock values match your financial accounting. Identify incorrect postings, find differences, analyse details, and take corrective measures — all from within Business Central.
Floating Goods & Goods in Transit
Create an overview of goods in transit at the push of a button — debtor and creditor evaluations showing what has been delivered but not yet invoiced. Exactly what your auditor asks for on the reporting date.
Nature-of-Expense Method (NEM)
Map a traditional nature-of-expense method within the P&L statement through special extensions. Additional P&L postings increase transparency in financial accounting for production-relevant areas.
Extended Posting Logic
Separate manual postings from automatic postings. For each transaction, depending on the reason and origin code, post to separate accounts in the P&L and balance sheet for a higher level of detail.
Nine Filter Dimensions
Apply nine different filter options to obtain the appropriate basis for your analysis. Display how value items and non-cash items are connected with a single click.
Differentiated Inventory Adjustments
Make differentiated inventory adjustment entries. Display and evaluate item movements with full transparency — the basis for accurate cost analysis and financial reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
What does Inventory 365 do?
Inventory 365 reconciles your inventory sub-ledger (stock accounting) with your general ledger (financial accounting) in Business Central. It identifies discrepancies, evaluates floating goods and goods in transit, and maps the nature-of-expense method in your P&L.
Who is CKL Software?
CKL Software GmbH is an independent software manufacturer founded in 1997, based in Germany. They are known internationally for cost and performance accounting solutions for Business Central. Over 180 registered partners and 4,000+ installations worldwide.
Which Business Central versions are supported?
Inventory 365 supports Business Central 16.1 and later, including BC SaaS (cloud). It is available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK, and the US. Legacy versions (NAV 2009 R2 through NAV 2018, BC13-BC14) are also supported.
How does Inventory 365 help with audits?
The floating goods evaluation creates reporting-date overviews at the push of a button — exactly what auditors request. The reconciliation function shows whether stock values match financial accounting, making it easy to identify and correct discrepancies before audit.
What is the nature-of-expense method?
The nature-of-expense method (Gesamtkostenverfahren) classifies P&L expenses by their nature (materials, personnel, depreciation) rather than by function. It is widely used in DACH countries. Inventory 365 maps this within the Business Central P&L through special posting extensions.
How does this relate to inventory costing in Business Central?
Business Central handles inventory costing (FIFO, Average, Standard, etc.) natively. Inventory 365 sits on top — it does not replace costing methods but adds reconciliation, analysis, and extended posting logic that ensures your financial accounting accurately reflects your inventory movements. Read our deep-dive article on inventory costing for the full picture.

Yes. A 30-day free trial is available directly from Microsoft AppSource. Install it into your Business Central environment to evaluate the reconciliation and analysis features.
