What is on the shelf,
against what the system thinks.

A count is a document you open, fill with what was actually found, and finalise. The difference posts as an adjustment with a reason attached, so shrinkage is recorded rather than absorbed.

The alternative is editing the stock figure. Which loses both the variance and the reason for it.

Running one

Open, count, finalise.

A count is a documentIt exists in draft while you are counting, so a stock take spread over an evening does not have to be done in one sitting.
Lines as you find themCounted quantities added against items, at the location you are standing in.
Finalise to postFinalising is what writes the adjustment. Until then, nothing has moved.
Cancel a countA count abandoned halfway is cancelled explicitly rather than left open forever.
What it leaves

A variance you can explain.

The difference is postedShrinkage and gains become entries, so the P&L carries them rather than the stock figure quietly absorbing them.
Valued, not just countedThe count carries the value of its variance, not only the quantity — because a hundred missing screws and a hundred missing phones are not the same event.
Linked to its entryThe count record holds the ledger entry it produced, so the posting and the count that justified it are one click apart.
It stays readableThe count and its variance remain on record — which is the document an auditor asks for when closing stock moved.
Scope

A count of one location, or all of it.

Per locationCount one store, warehouse or rack without freezing the rest of the business.
Numbered like any documentCounts carry their own numbering and date, so "the March count" is a thing you can find rather than a folder on somebody’s desktop.
Notes on the recordWhy the count happened, and anything the counter noticed, kept with it.

Count it, and let the books catch up honestly.

The variance is an entry with a reason, not an adjustment nobody can find later.
