Important Details

The stocktake procedure is one that can cause major changes to your database and reporting.

It is important to ensure that all details are correct throughout the entire process.

• Do not sell any items of stock between starting the stocktake and when you actually count the stock.
• Once an item has been counted and recorded, that item is able to be sold through the terminal.
• Any stock purchases, returns, transfers or write-offs that are entered after the stocktake has been started will affect the Stocktake; you will have the choice to apply these changes to the current stock levels.

• Choose the Location/s you wish to stocktake.
