Deskera Cycle Count and Stock Adjustments
What is cycle counting?
Cycle counting is an inventory management technique that involves regularly counting specific items in an inventory system in order to maintain accurate records. The frequency of the counts depends on the size of the inventory and the accuracy required. Counts can be performed daily, weekly, monthly, or less frequently. Cycle counts may also be used to identify discrepancies between physical inventory and the inventory recorded in the system.
What are the benefits of cycle counting?
Cycle counting provides a more efficient way to maintain accurate inventory records than a traditional physical inventory. The frequent counting of items allows for quicker identification and correction of discrepancies when they occur. It also helps to reduce the potential for inventory shrinkage and can be used to detect systematic errors in the inventory system.
What is a stock adjustment?
A stock adjustment is a change to the quantity of an item in an inventory system. Adjustments may be made when a physical count of an item reveals discrepancies between the quantity of the item in the system and the actual quantity in the inventory.
What types of stock adjustments are there?
There are two types of stock adjustments: additions and deductions. An addition adjustment is used to add items to the inventory system, while a deduction adjustment is used to remove items from the system.
What is the purpose of a stock adjustment?
The purpose of a stock adjustment is to reconcile the quantity of an item in the inventory system with the actual quantity of the item in the physical inventory. This helps to ensure that the system accurately reflects the inventory and that the inventory is correctly valued.
What is the difference between a cycle count and a stock adjustment?
A cycle count is an inventory management technique used to count specific items in an inventory system on a regular basis.
