FnB Live: Setting Stock Count to Zero by Category

Overview

It is important when stock counting that the process is easy and straight forward for users of the system. Preparation is the key when counting stock; having an organised methodical manner for the process; ensuring the available time & resource is imperative and making use of any configuration within the system to make the counting process quickly, efficient & accurate.

The system allows some configuration to enable easy entry of stock data as the system mandates that a count is entered against each product, zero or otherwise. It is important that this is utilised to the best effect to make the counting and entry process as easy as possible.

This article describes the best practice method for setting the Stock Count to 'Zero' per category.

Please Note: This option is often used for consumable Products if they are not counted as often as Food and Beverage Products, as each Product must have a count entered against it. Always ensure that all Products are counted within the stock holding to provide accurate stock data, and make certain to allow time to re-check or re-enter stock which could have been miscounted.
