The Stocktake module is a transactional module used to create an official inventory adjustment document based on the results of a physical count. After you have identified stock discrepancies using the Stock Count Sheet module, you use this module to execute that adjustment so that the stock quantity in the system once again matches the physical quantity in the warehouse.

On the New form that appears, select the Bin Code (warehouse location) where the stocktake was performed, then click [Save].
Step 4: Detail the Adjustments (Conceptual)
After you save the location, the system will open a detail page (not shown). On that page, you will:
Add the items that have a discrepancy.
Enter the adjustment quantity (for example, -5 if there is a shortage of 5, or +2 if there is a surplus of 2).

After all items with discrepancies have been entered, you will confirm the document.
3. Process Results
After the Stocktake document is confirmed:
The system will automatically update the Quantity on Hand in the warehouse to match the physical count results.
The system will create a journal entry to record the value of the inventory adjustment (for example, to a Stock Discrepancy Expense account).
Tips & Important Notes
This module is the execution step after the counting process in the Stock Count Sheet module.
This is a module with a direct financial impact because it changes the inventory value on the balance sheet and usually requires authorization from a managerial level.
This process is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of inventory data.
