Business Benefits

The whole purpose of taking a Physical Count periodically is to reconcile the accounting records with the actual Inventory that is available. This program produces the report that compares the results of the Physical Count and the computer records, so that you can see which discrepancies exist (if any) in order to follow up on them and/or to take corrective actions to eliminate future discrepancies.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see PI - Physical Inventory. For further information on how inventory is handled under ViewPoint Logistics, see Physical Inventory Overview.
