Problem
My stock on hand (SOH) report does not match the increase/decrease in stock value of my latest inventory report
Setup
- Retail POS for Mac or PC
Cause
- Sales were done during the inventory count
- Stock movements were done during the inventory count
- Average cost was updated during/after the inventory count
Solution
Sales were done during the inventory count
- If you processed sales during the inventory count, each sale will decrease your SOH value
Stock movements were done during the inventory count
- If stock orders were received/ stock returns were sent during the inventory count, each stock order will increase your SOH value and each return will decrease your SOH value
Average cost was updated during/after the inventory count
- SOH is based on the average cost of each item. The average cost may change during the process of the count.
