Cycle Counts and ABC Classes

Inventory → Cycle Counts replaces the once-a-year stock take with small, regular counts.

ABC classes

Each night items are ranked by the value of stock that moves through them:

• A — the items that make up the first 80% of that value. Counted every 30 days.
• B — the next 15% (up to 95%). Counted every 90 days.
• C — the rest. Counted every 365 days.

Items that have never been counted are always due.

Counting

Create a count from the items that are due, or pick items yourself. A blind count hides the expected quantity from the counter. Counts go submit → review → post: the counter submits, a reviewer checks the differences, and posting updates stock. The value of any difference is posted to the Inventory Adjustments account.
