Add a Stock Count

The Create Stock Count page provides you with the ability to select what products you want to include in your stock count (or stock take) before freezing them to do the actual count.

From the Stock Count page, once you've selected Add Count from the top right corner you'll be taken to the Create Stock Count page. From here, you can determine the Warehouse, Product Groups and locations you are completing a count for.

Creating a Stock Count

When you want to create a stock count on this page, you can apply specified filters and products to your count and then save accordingly. As a result, all of your stock levels will freeze for all of your products allocated in that specified count. 

1. From the Create Stock Count page, use the fields and filters available to you to refine your stock count search. 
   
   
   • Optionally enter in a unique Stock Count Name for the new count
   • Select a Warehouse 
   • Optionally enter a bin location (if applicable)
   • Optionally enter a supplier (if applicable)
   • Optionally select a Product Group from the drop-down (if applicable)
   • Tick the Include products with no stock if you want those products to be on the stock count
     
     
2. Once you are happy with the products to be counted, click Create Count.
   
3. A pop-up window will appear, to advise that any open transactions relating to the new stock count are either closed or accounted for prior to confirming Yes or No on creating the new stock count.
   
   
   
4. You will then be taken to the new count, in which you will update each product's count quantity and complete. For more details, see Add a Stock Count.

Empty Stock Counts

If you want to conduct a blind Stock Count or only want to include a specific range of products that aren't defined by a single Product Group or Bin Location you can use the Create empty stock count checkbox. No products will be populated in the new Stock Count and only those that are manually added will be counted and adjusted when the Stock Count's completed. 

If batch or serial tracked products are added to an empty Stock Count you will still be required to allocate the appropriate batch and serial numbers to the count quantity.
