Stock count: Overview


When physical stock of inventory is verified against the current stock on the application, a 'stock count' transaction is performed on the application. On performing a stock count transaction,

  • The stock count quantity will overwrite the existing current stock
  • The current stock may increase or decrease based on the stock counted quantity


This may be done to provide an audit of existing stock. It is also the source of stock discrepancy information, and the operation is used for adjusting the error in inventory in order to match it to the physical stock at the entity.
