01 The problem
Twelve in the system. Nine on the shelf.
Adjusting a total will not explain why it was wrong. Use the count to investigate where the discrepancy came from.
- 01 Staff search for stock that only exists in the records.
- 02 Available, reserved and held stock get mixed together.
- 03 Quantities are adjusted without investigating why they were wrong.
