Stock take to Stock-taking or "inventory checking" is the physical verification of the quantities and condition of items held in an inventory or warehouse. This may be done to provide an audit of existing stock. It is also the source of stock discrepancy information and changes your in-stock number.

On the navigation panel, click Inventory > Adjustments > Stock Takes > New Stocktake

Once the stock take is open, some transactions such as:

  • Shipment

  • Inventory Receive Note

  • Stock Adjustment

  • Stock Transfer

  • Exchange & Return

Will be temporarily disabled.

Select Location to stock Take > click Create New

Enter counted quantity > Save. The app will show you the discrepancy between the counted quantity and existing stock, the number you entered will be the in-stock quantity once Saved.

After finishing stocktaking, click "Complete Stock Take" and now it is time for EMERGE working.

Stay tuned and wait for EMERGE crunching the numbers. But don't worry, it does not take too much time. While the system is working, there is a notification below to prevent unexpected action from interrupting the progress.

After the process is finished, a notification will appear to inform you of the successful stock take. The stock take will have the status of "Closed" with the date start and the date end.
