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

Keep in mind the discrepancies will show up on this report on the day that the stocktake was created not the date it was approved.

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