Key Features of stocktakes

Support for :

    • Manual stocktakes,
    • Automated stocktakes using your own or data capture units hired from Readysell
    • Laptop using portable wireless blue tooth scanners
    • Warehouse stocktaking feature on Readysell mobile app for smart phones or tablets. The mobile app can use blue tooth scanners such as those that can connect to the device by clicking on the tablet, be hung around your neck in a form similar to a pendant and others
  • Being integrated with Readysell advanced warehousing features, stocktakes can be performed by very small locations at a time. Locations can go right down to the shelf or bay level. 
  • Readysell's extensive warehousing experience is available for hire if you need training, design advice or one of our team members to control your stocktakes.
  • Full range of stock reports before and after the stocktake,
  • Full range of variance tracking, stocktake progress tracking and performance reporting.

There are two ways to stocktake products:

  • Use data capture units or the Readysell mobile application. This scan or type in products manually
  • Use Extract Products to generate a list of products meeting particular criteria, print a stocktake count worksheet and send this to the required personnel for counting

Once you have finished counting stock, you may generate a final stocktake for all products that have not been counted. This identifies all products that have not been counted. You can then apply a number of different flags to these products (such as setting the Stock on Hand to 0, removing them from the website, marking them as Obsolete or Archive, and so on).

Extensive documentation

There is very extensive documentation on how to prepare, test, model your stocktake process, report on and review stocktakes. Every dealer who follows the documentation has few difficulties with stocktakes. There is no reason why you should not review the documentation and find the information you need before you start your stocktake.

Stocktakes in Readysell work in the following modes:

  • Ad-Hoc : correcting stock for specific products without having to generate a final stocktake for uncounted products
Warning

If stock is in two locations. Ad-Hoc stocktakes will only every change the stock in the location you count. As a result you can end up with uncounted stock still being on the computer when you end the stocktake.

  • Location Only : correcting product location only. This mode does not change the product stock level or require to generate a final stocktake
Note

If our stock on hand and location data is very messy. It may be a lot faster to do a location only stocktake of the whole business to put stock in the right location, get your location labels in place and check the bar codes work. Then you can actually count the stock using your new tidy locations and functioning bar codes.

  • Partial : clearing stock in specific locations as you go; this is better for rolling stocktakes
Warning

You might use a partial stocktake even when stocktaking the whole business. When you first count a product, partial stocktakes clear stock in all other locations for that product. This approach to clearing stock might suit your business.

  • Full : clearing stock in all locations when you get to the end; this is better for full stocktakes
Warning

If you have stock for a product in two locations. When you first count a product, full stocktakes only clear and replace the stock in the location you are counting.Any stock for the product says in the other locations. At the end the stocktake procedure you do a final stocktake. The final stocktake then clears all stock in product locations that you did not count.

A stock variation report may be used to determine variances, stock cleared in other locations, and stock not cleared in other locations.

Note

Readysell's stock on hand report can print the stock on hand at any date. So you can rerun your stock on hand report as at the start or end of the stocktake at any later date. Handy if you forget to run the report or loose the printout!
