Stocktaking Dialog

Stocktaking, also known as inventory counting, is a vital process in business management. It involves assessing and documenting the quantity, quality, and value of a company’s stock at a specific time. It helps maintain accurate records, manage inventory levels, identify discrepancies, and evaluate financial health. Stocktaking ensures adequate stock, uncovers theft or damage, and aids in decision-making. Though labor-intensive, it streamlines operations and contributes to long-term success in the marketplace.

You can perform partial or full stocktaking and you can decide if the database should be updated or if the stocktaking is only for information purpose. A stocktaking can be Open, Closed, Full or Partial. When the stocktaking is Open you can edit it and add remove items and the price is updated from the inventory. As soon as you Close the stocktaking it is read-only and the price is set to the price at the time you closed it. You can still print and export to Excel but you can not edit the items.
