Important Notices:

Physical counts cannot be undone once posted.  Be absolutely certain to review your variance report before posting the physical count.

All items on the physical count must be counted.  An item that is not counted will be treated as if a 0 was entered and inventory will be set to 0 for that item.

Initial physical counts will often create large journal entries that will need to be adjusted or removed to create the correct starting inventory value.

Select the Warehouse you will be counting in.

Name the physical count (many customers find a date based name beneficial)

 

Freeze Inventory Items

Navigate to the Freeze tab of the physical count screen to choose the items you will be counting and freeze them for counting.  Inventory transactions should not be posted once a freeze has been started until the physical count is complete.  Items that are frozen must be counted.
