A physical count (stock take) is a periodic process where you count all items on hand and reconcile the result with the system. MSME Link supports a staged workflow with a snapshot that freezes quantities at the start of the count.

  1. 1Go to Inventory → Stock Adjustments and click New Physical Count.
  2. 2Select the branch and the scope (all items or a specific category).
  3. 3MSME Link freezes a snapshot of current quantities. You can continue trading — movements during the count are tracked separately.
  4. 4Count each item and enter the physical quantity.
  5. 5Review the variance report. Items with discrepancies are highlighted.
  6. 6Submit for approval and confirm to post the adjustment journals.
