In CStoreOffice®, inventory can be conducted by one or a combination of the following methods:
One of the examples of combining methods is when the user does physical inventories by item every two months and performs itemized inventory every night or three times a week for the most valuable and vulnerable items.
Track Item Movement
To reconcile only selected, high-risk items, CStoreOffice® offers the Track Item Movement option. This option works independently from any and all other inventory controls.
For more information, see Track Item Movement.
Itemized Inventory (Cycle Counts)
Itemized inventory (cycle counts) are full or partial counts of inventory items done by store employees using a handheld device (HHD) or manually using a cycle count ticket as often as required by company regulations and/or the CStoreOffice®.
For more information, see Itemized Inventory.
Non-Itemized Inventory
Often the operator must perform non-itemized inventory of all merchandise available for sale at its retail value. Depending on the method in use to track inventory, non-itemized inventory must be done at the item level or by category. It is recommended that all operators have this inventory performed frequently as the management control. The operator may choose an independent service qualified in the performance of retail store inventories or do physical inventory with his or her own employees. However, and independent service is recommended.
