Hi. How can we help?

Stock on hand report does not match the stock value difference of my last inventory count

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.
