Counting and Reconciling Stock

A count captures physical quantity, compares it with system stock, and turns variances into a reviewable adjustment.

Perform the count

Choose the warehouse and enter each item's counted quantity. The draft remains editable or deletable until finalization.

  • Each line holds system quantity, counted quantity, variance, and unit cost.

Finalize the count

At finalization, the system refreshes current balances, calculates counted-versus-system variance, and finalizes the count.

  • A draft adjustment is created only when non-zero variances exist.
  • Only a draft count can be finalized.

Manual adjustments

An independent adjustment can increase or decrease quantity for count variances, damage, expiry, corrections, or another reason.

  • Each line specifies adjustment direction, quantity, and unit cost.
  • The system totals increases and decreases in quantity and value.

Approval and cancellation

Approving an adjustment changes stock according to increase and decrease lines. Cancelling a draft has no effect, while cancelling an approved adjustment reverses all changes.

  • Count and adjustment numbers are generated automatically.
  • Movements remain in the company's audit trail.
