Why count
Over time, breakages, mistakes and theft make the real shelf different from the system. A stock count fixes that. You can count the whole store at month end, or just one aisle or one brand.
Open a count
- Open Inventory → Stock counts and click Open a count.
- Choose the Location.
- Add a Note so you can find it later, for example Month-end count, aisle 3.
- Click Open count. The count opens with the status open. If no location is chosen, the Location box asks you to choose one.
Count the items
- Click in Scan or search a product to add it to the count… and scan the item's barcode, or type its name or SKU and pick it.
- The item is added with its Expected quantity, which is what Sevo thinks is on hand.
- Type what you counted in the Counted box and press Enter. It is saved at once.
- The Variance column shows the difference. A minus figure means items are missing. A plus figure means you found more than expected.
- Repeat for every item. You can close the window and come back later: the count stays open.
Count when the shop is quiet or closed, so items are not sold while you are counting them.
Finish the count
- Check the lines with a large variance. Recount them if you are not sure.
- Click Complete & post corrections, then Complete & post. Each variance becomes a count correction movement, so stock on hand now matches what you counted.
- If the count was started by mistake, click Cancel count instead. Nothing changes.
