The Stocktake Discrepancy Report is ideal for compiling inventory changes that happened as a result of a Stocktake. This is especially useful if you use Custom Reasons on Stocktakes for damaged, expired, stolen, or any goods that cannot be sold for any reason but still need to be accounted for.

With this report, you can compile a total of damages for a specific date range and export it in a way that works best for you.

Report Summary

The columns in this report include:

  • Product

  • Variant

  • (Stocktake) Number

  • Location

  • Discrepancy

  • Cost per unit (based on the default cost you have set for the product)

  • Cost (discrepancy x cost per unit)

  • Reason

Remember that the discrepancies will appear on this report on the day the Stocktake was created, not the date it was approved.

We recommend that Stocktakes be completed during off-hours to prevent sales from interfering with product quantities.

You can filter by Locations as well to contain or exclude any that are available.

Each custom report can be exported as a CSV or PDF, which you will see when clicking the blue Actions button at the top right corner of the page.

This custom report is excellent for tracking changes made over time when using Stocktakes. This is especially helpful if you use Product Notes, Stocktake Notes, or custom Reasons for different types of counts.
