Ending quantity	The trackable inventory quantity of a product variant at the end of the last day of the selected time period (might be a negative number).
Quantity sold	Number of units of a product variant sold during the selected period (doesn't reflect inventory adjustments such as returns, manual adjustments, or transfer receipts).
Quantity sold per day	Average number of items of the product variant sold per day during the selected period (quantity sold divided by number of days in the time period).

Data calculation

Formula:

Percent sold = Quantity sold ÷ Starting quantity

This metric reflects the proportion of the starting inventory that was sold during the selected time period.

Special cases

The Percent sold value might be below 0% or above 100% in the following scenarios:

• Inventory tracking is enabled and a variant is oversold
  • For example, if the starting inventory is 5 and you receive 10 orders in a day, the Percent sold is 200%.
• The starting quantity is negative
  • For example, if overselling on the previous day causes the starting quantity to be -5 the next day, and you sell 2 more units, the Percent sold for that day is -40%.
• The starting quantity is 0 (shown as N/A)
  When the starting quantity is 0, the system cannot calculate a valid percentage, and the value will be displayed as N/A.
