How to Correct Stock Levels
Fix discrepancies when physical stock does not match system records.
Goal: System stock quantities match physical inventory counts.
Products Inventory
Choose the right toolStock Count sets absolute quantities after a full physical count. Stock Adjustment adds or subtracts a specific difference.
Phase 1 · Identify the discrepancy
- Run Reports → Stock Report for current system quantities.
- Perform physical count in warehouse/store.
- Compare and list products with differences.
Phase 2 · Correct stock (choose one path)
Path A — Full physical count (Stock Count)
- Products → Count Stock.
- Select warehouse. Enter counted quantity for each product.
- Submit — system sets stock to counted values.
Path B — Single product correction (Adjustment)
- Stock Adjustment → Create Adjustment.
- Select warehouse. Add product with type Add or Subtract.
- Enter the difference quantity. Submit.
Phase 3 · Verify
- Re-run Stock Report — quantities should match physical count.
- Spot-check in POS for key products.
Common mistakes
- Editing product instead of adjusting — Product form does not change stock; use Count or Adjustment.
- Wrong warehouse — Stock is per-warehouse; select the correct location.
