At the end of the financial year, a count is carried out to check whether the recorded quantity corresponds to the quantity in the warehouse. Differences must be recorded before stock valuation takes place.

The article items are processed according to the information you have entered. Lines are created in the inventory book sheet. The field "Inventory quantity" is automatically filled with the same quantity as the "Quantity (calculated)" filled in. With this function, it is not necessary to enter the counted available stock for items that correspond to the calculated quantity. If the value of the counted quantity differs from the entry in the "Quantity (calculated)"this must be overwritten with the actual quantity counted.

The items present in all storage bins must be counted in order to be able to post the result as an inventory. It is also possible to determine differences, register them and then post them later using the "Calculate compensation" to calculate. This option can be selected if you cannot count the item in all storage bins when time is limited.

If the count deviates from the quantity entered in the "Inventory quantity" was entered, it is necessary to enter the quantity actually counted.
  1. After entering all counted quantities, confirm this with the action "Capture"When registering the book sheet, two storage bin items are created in the logistics journal for each line that has been counted and registered, if the calculated and counted quantities do not match:
    - The positive and negative quantity for the storage bin is recorded. In addition, a balancing quantity is posted to the balancing storage bin of the storage location if the calculated quantity matches the counted quantity:
    - An item of quantity "0" is registered for the storage bin and for the clearing storage bin. The registration date shows that a logistics inventory was carried out and that there were no differences in the stock levels of the item.
