Edit / Delete Counts  

Tips

Counts are a key component in CostGuard. You may want to control which users have access to Counts. For more information click here.

Occasionally errors happen when you enter Counts.  CostGuard has a feature which allows you to edit or delete a count so you can reconcile your Inventory.

 

If you change the Count of an Inventory Item, CostGuard will recalculate immediately.  CostGuard will make the changes in the Inventory Manager, on hands, and in Reports.  If you delete a count, then CostGuard will not change the levels until you enter another transaction affecting the same inventory item(s) and save it.  If you delete a count, then enter and save a new count as soon as possible to fix the levels.  Remember, you cannot change the date of a count.

 

Another alternative for changing a count is to use the Adjustment feature.  If you are dealing with spoilage or waste, this is a better alternative than just changing the count.  You create Adjustments with a reason, and you can use them to track potential problems.  You can then go back and investigate discrepancies.  For more information on adjustments, click here.
