To count your stock items

If you haven't already read the Adjust Stocks Overview, see Counting stock items for more information.
  1. Be sure to record any stock transfers before counting your stock. Otherwise, missing stock that was really used to build another item will be accounted for as an expense, such as loss or shrinkage. See Transferring stock for more information.
  2. Click Count Stock in the Stock Command Centre to open the Count Stock window.
  3. Count the actual items in your stock and enter their actual quantities in the Counted column.
  4. Click Adjust Stock. The Adjustment Information window appears.
  5. In the Adjustment Information window, you can specify a default allocation account with which you can track the adjustments you entered in the Count Stock window. If you choose to enter an account in this window, the stock adjustment transaction that will be created in the next step will use this default allocation account to track every adjustment you entered in step 3.

  1. The Adjust Stock window appears. A line item for each adjustment you entered in the Count Stock window in step 3 is displayed.

Warning: If the line items aren't correct

If you notice that the amounts in the Unit Cost or Amount columns aren't correct, don't make changes to that information at this time. Finish this procedure, then see To adjust an item's total value and unit cost.

  1. Click Record.
