So that BMS can do it's job and intelligently allocate stock, It's really important to ensure that your stock levels are accurately maintained. To do this, you should regularly perform a stocktake.

Stocktaking can be done in chunks to make it more manageable, how you approach this depends on how your warehouse is organised. For example, you might have a location in your warehouse dedicated to consumables / supplies. You could perform a Stocktake on this section of the warehouse, process any adjustments, then do another location the next day, etc.
​

Before you begin

You need to ensure that any backdated receipting / dispatching for that warehouse is completed. This is very important. In other words, any stock that is currently in the warehouse that hasn't been receipted in BMS must have it's receipt processed. Any stock that has left the warehouse but hasn't been dispatched in BMS must have it's dispatch processed.

Performing a Stocktake

Go to the warehouse's 'Stock on Hand' tab, and select 'Reports' > 'UPDATE FOR STOCKTAKE REPORT'. This will list all the serialized and non-serialized stock in your warehouse that requires a count.

Perform your count. Any non-serialized products / serials not present on the stocktake sheet can be added at the bottom - you will need to 'create new stock' for these items.

Once counting is complete
