Count inventory in a warehouse
This
topic describes the process of creating and posting an inventory counting
journal in order to count a specific item at a location in the warehouse. The
procedure applies to "basic warehousing" functionality, available in
the Inventory management module, not to the warehousing functionality that's
available in the Warehouse management module. You can walk through this
procedure in demo data company USMF, or using your own data. If you're using
your own data, make sure that you have products and locations set up, and that
you've created an inventory journal name for counting journals. Inventory
counting is normally carried out by a warehouse employee.
