Inventory counts are used to calculate shrinkage, damaged goods and to correct any quantity on hand discrepancies. You can count everything all at once or do a partial count using categories, tags or manufacturers. 

Before you start your new inventory count, we recommend:

• Correcting your Asset Report
• Exporting your Asset Report

 

To start a new inventory count, go to Doing inventory counts.

 

After you finish your inventory count, we recommend archiving your items with zero stock.

Correcting your Asset Report

1. From the main menu, click on Reports > Assets.
2. Click on the column header Margin to sort your search results.
3. Click the Item Descriptions to make the below corrections:

• 100% Margins: enter a Default Cost.

• 0% Margins: enter a Default Price.

• Negative Margins: enter a Default Price that is higher than your Default Cost.

Exporting your Asset Report

1. Correct your Asset Report.
2. From the main menu, click on Reports > Assets.
