Procedures of Stock Audit
Scanning
New stock is registered, barcoded, and entered in the system for its acquisition or use. These barcodes are then scanned every time the item is removed from the stock for any purpose. Also, the purpose is required to be entered in the provided field, so as to know afterwards and verify it.
After the stock ends and new stock is demanded, its variable use is analyzed for its requisition, and this process continues.
Uploading of scans
Scanned products will be uploaded on the company’s database.
Flash Report
