Work through a count
- Choose the store, then open Inventory → Stock counts.
- Choose the items and follow the count workflow shown for that location. Keep physical shelves, bins and item variants clearly separated.
- Enter the quantities actually counted. Investigate mismatches with recent receipts, repairs, returns and transfers.
- Review the count and its differences before applying any supported adjustment.
Make the result meaningful
A count is most useful when the team knows which inventory movements happened while it was being taken. Avoid having two people independently adjust the same discrepancy.
A zero or missing count is not necessarily a sale, loss or customer return. Record the explanation supported by the physical review and retain the count history.
