Stock counts: a tour

A tour of Stock counts in Arkon One: Cycle counts and full stock takes per yard and the controls you will use most.

The steps, written out

1. Open Stock counts from the Operations section of the left menu.
2. Read each row: Count #, Yard, Scope, Status, Count date, Progress.
3. Review the Counts section.
4. Review the Start a count section.

Tip

Lines you leave blank are ignored. Use Cancel count to abandon it (nothing is changed). Each count has a number such as SC-1001 and can be exported. Owners, Office Managers and Yard Managers can run counts; Dispatchers can view them. Posting applies each counted line's variance (Counted - Expected) to Available stock at that yard and records a stock movement "Stock count {number} variance". The count then shows the Variance (units) and Variance value (at replacement cost).
