About Inventory Count

Prev Next

Inventory Count is the process of counting the retail items that you have on hand in your store or other location. This is done to see if the counts correspond with the system totals (purchased and transferred items minus sales).

Depending on your company's policy, the store manager may perform an inventory count at the end of a week, a month, end of a quarter, or end of the year.

A count can either be done manually or by using an Inventory Template.

An inventory count must be approved by either an individual or a group. There are several statuses of this process, and defined activities can be performed at each one.
