Perpetual Count - Count Entry

The next step in the Stocktake process is to enter in all your counts. You can do this by choosing the second sub-option under Inventory | Perpetual Count | Count Entry.

You will be brought to the count entry screen where the first thing you will need to do is choose the particular count this is for in the Count Number drop-down. This will then populate the list below so you can go ahead and start entering your counts in the Count Quantity column. If you have counts for products that are not showing in the list you can enter these in the box above.

On this screen you also have 5 buttons that do various things. Details of what these do are:

Complete:     

Once you have finished entering all your counts you can click this button and all the stock levels will be changed according to what you entered. You will also receive a report detailing all the changes made and any variances found in the Stocktake.

Save:                      

We do not expect you to be able to finish entering all these quantities in one sitting so if you want to save what you have entered so far and come back later you can click this.

Print Variance:         

This button will print a report much like the one you get when you complete the Stocktake but you can do this at anytime. It will show you your variances so far according to what you have entered. We recommend printing this before actually completing the Stocktake.

Cancel:         

This button will just take you back to the dashboard screen.

Delete:                    

This button behaves the same as the delete button in the Create Count screen and it will delete the count that you are currently working on. Deleting the count will then unfreeze all the stock for that warehouse. 

 

Once you have completed the Stocktake all your products for that warehouse will now match your physical counts and you can be confident in knowing that everything is correct and up to date.

Hi Mike,

This is posted to Xero by way of a stock adjustment. The stock on hand will either be increased or decreased depending on your counts and this will be put to cost of goods sold. You are free to change this account in Xero to whatever you like. 

Thanks for the question.

How is this posted to Xero? How is the variance handled?
