For every bike: the frame number, where it came from and what went into it in parts. So you know what it really cost before it goes on the rack.
A second-hand bike has one detail no other piece has: a frame number.
That number is what makes a bike identifiable, and it is exactly what gets asked for the moment something goes wrong — by a customer who recognises their bike, by an insurer, by the police. A bike whose frame number was never written down is a bike whose provenance you cannot show.
On top of that, almost no second-hand bike is roadworthy when you buy it. Tyres, brake blocks, cables and working hours go into it before it hangs on the rack, and those costs belong to that one bike.
Frame number, make, type, size and condition, with photographs. Where you got the bike and from whom sits beside them.
Tyres, brakes, cables. Your purchase price is not your cost, and on a bike the gap can quickly be half your margin.
On the handlebars or the saddle, with the price on it and a code pointing to the full record. At the sale you scan it instead of copying it across.
Bikes take up space, and a size that does not sell only registers when you see it standing there. See dormant stock.
In the app: the provenance and the supplier sit on the same record as the photographs, and you can bring the frame number to the front of the table so you can search on it.
The frame number was never written downThen you cannot show where any bike came from — and that is precisely the question that arrives at the worst moment.
The parts are not attached to the bikeA box of brake blocks is an expense, but per bike you no longer know what went in. Your margin per bike becomes an average, not a fact.
Sold bikes stay in the listThen your stock is wrong, and on a warranty question you are searching a list that knows the same bike twice.
Then there is no purchase invoice, and your own record of the purchase is the document your margin rests on. Several countries also require a register when buying second-hand goods. Which register applies where is set out per country in the knowledge base; the margin scheme itself is in this article.

Yes. It sits on the bike's record, and you can show it in the table so that you can search and filter on it.
Yes. Next to the purchase price you add the parts that went into it, so your cost and your margin per bike are right.
