Beginning Inventory establishes the starting quantity for items at a branch or installation.
Steps
1. Back up the database and stop receiving or selling items during the initial count.
2. Open Inventory Module > Beginning Count Entry or Beginning Inventory.
3. Find each item and enter its verified starting quantity.
4. Review the entries and Save them.
5. Post Inventory only after the complete count has been checked and approved.
6. Run the inventory report and compare the posted balances with the signed count sheet.
Important
Do not use Beginning Inventory for routine stock corrections. Use Receiving, Pull-Out, or Adjustment Entry for later movements.
