Stock is held by location so would only work if you have one primary bin for all your product or you count all locations the product you check is held in to ensure you do not increase or decrease total stock holding,
If this is the case and you will count all locations for the product or just have one primary bin for everything then go to Stock Take, Create and Create an Empty Stock Take, this way you will only stock adjust what you scan or add in the location you put in.

Hi Paul
When creating a stock take you select the location and bin’s. When posting your results you have to enter the variance +/-. I think the request here is that rather than post the adjustment value you would post the actual count and IQ would compare what was expected with what was counted and post the variance. It shouldn’t matter about having stock in multiple bins (in theory) as you have already set the parameters of what you are counting.
For someone to count and enter 10/5/20 etc. is a lot more user friendly than having to enter -2/+4/-1

When doing an empty stock take you do not enter or select the location/bin until you go to the item to count it, you will note everything other than the Description and number of counts is greyed out. So if you are using a hand held, you enter the bin location, scan the product or enter product code, then add the count qty before moving to next item, change bin if needed, enter code and then quantity.
The stock take screen will then show you scanned or entered items, the product code, Bin location and the actual count with plus or minus variance of the expected qty in that bin location. When you complete the empty stock take it will post a plus or minus stock adjustment variance dependant on variance in the stock bin qty.
Hi Paul
Thanks for that response – we are actually comparing apples with oranges as we approach stocktakes two different ways as we generate stocktakes based on a defined Warehouse plan and cycle count – we do not work from empty stocktakes
David
We work in exactly the same way as you for our stock takes, just an empty stock take can be used for ongoing weekly/monthly PPI checks or one off stock checks/adjustments by choosing one or two items of stock that you want to check rather than a full location.
