Creating and viewing stock counts

Introduction

Stock count is a process of counting inventory on a periodic basis throughout the year. Stock count is used to check for discrepancies between physical and record balances. On a regular basis, stock counts will help to detect errors and correct them. Inventory is broken down into ABC classification and frequency of count is assigned based on this classification. The classification groups items into categories based on certain activity characteristics such as the sales quantity, revenue, and cost of goods sold. You can create and view the stock counts at Inventory ➔ Warehouse management ➔ Counts.
