Physical Inventory
Create and edit inventory counts and update your stock quantities.
What is a Physical Inventory?
Physical Inventory is defined as the process of manually counting stock at a specific date and time. Companies may conduct physical inventory to get a count, test the condition of materials, and confirm data as given by statistics on hand.
Keep in Mind:
- The user defines and maintain various inventory counts. In each count, the user has to indicate the specific warehouse involved as well as the date.
- Once the inventory lists are generated, it is possible to add or delete products.
- Once the inventory count is processed, it is not possible to modify content.
- Depending on the state of the document, Processed, Posted, ... Some fields of the document will appear as read only in order to prevent the user to modify the values. At the database level there is a trigger that prevents the modification of some fields depending on document's state.
