📝 Take Stock

Take stock is used to count physical inventory and compare it with the system’s book quantity. These are occasional operations, typically for audits or verification.

Key Features:

  • Book quantities
  • Variances (difference between counted and recorded quantity)
  • Built-in calculator
  • Supports: Locations, Product name, SKU, NFC, Categories, Custom fields

Example:
Variance = Book Quantity − Counted Quantity
E.g., if counted stock is 900 less than expected, variance shows -900.
