Your first step on preforming a stocktake is to take a snapshot of the system, before you start your stocktake. A snapshot saves your current stock levels in to a stocktake, for you to then later compare your count.

• Press Create Snapshot
• Select Branch
• Give a Reference Name
• Select Type.

Your next step is to count the stock .

Most customers use stocktaking scanners to stocktake, however you can instead export the product stock list and use this in excel to update the stock level instead of using a scanner.

A guide to our loan scanners can be found here.

Please Note: In order to update stock levels PLU and quantity have to exist in the excel file.

A global stocktakes scanning everything in the branch selected.

A partial stocktake example is where you are only scanning one brand.

A stocktake is most accurate when done whilst closed.

If your stocktaking whilst trading, you will need to check stock levels of items sold on the days you have been stock counting.

You can only stocktake one branch at a time.

Make sure your scanner is clear before you start the stocktake.

Multiple Branches - Make sure all transfers have been accepted and ask all stores not to transfer stock whilst stocktakes are being carried out.

View stocktake takes you to the view screen. This is where you upload your counts, compare results and update the stocktake.
