Managing your first stocktake
Your first stocktake is needed to set up the "Last counted" numbers for all your products. As we have no record of them for the fist stocktake, it will show a large variance.
There are a couple of options here.
Acknowledge that this will be the case for the first stocktake and wait for your next stocktake to happen, where your initial variances will be fixed.
Do a second stocktake right after the first and enter in the same count numbers. This will show you have no variance.
You could possibly enter in Stock invoices for each item with the initial counts. However - be aware that you cannot enter in (as an example) half a bottle of spirits as an Invoice item - so this is not an ideal way to enter in the first count.
When new products are added to your product list, a stocktake is required in order to start tracking them properly. Once you have done the first count, the stock Sold will start calculating and your current stock will be set.
