Counting physical inventory - Microsoft RMS

Inventory Management Series - Counting physical inventory

Counting the physical inventory in your store and finding the discrepancies in your stock levels can be an arduous task. With Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS), you can make this process easier and more efficient. You’ll be able to spend less time on counts. Or you can decide to count more often—allowing you to detect and respond to shrinkage and loss patterns sooner.

Whether you record counted quantities manually or by using a handheld counting device (sometimes called a portable data terminal), Microsoft Dynamics RMS can help reduce data-entry time, improve the accuracy of your information, and automate certain key phases.
Note

With the physical inventory features in Microsoft Dynamics RMS, no changes are made to your database quantities until you specifically request it by clicking the Commit button. This means that you can experiment as much as you want with creating, printing, and exporting count sheets, and even with importing counted quantities from another source.
