How to Conduct an Inventory Check in PC-Market – A Practical Guide

Stocktaking is a crucial inventory process in every store, allowing for the verification of stock levels. The PC-Market software, in its 7.6.126.0 version, offers a range of features designed to simplify and accelerate this process. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to conduct stocktaking and introduce new features, such as real-time stock updates.

Why is it worth using PC-Market for stocktaking?

The PC-Market software offers a wide range of features that not only simplify stocktaking but also enhance its accuracy and efficiency. Options such as freezing parts of the document, automatic filling of items, and batch handling are just some of the available functionalities.

Step by Step: How to Conduct Stocktaking in PC-Market?

1. Preparation:

  • Ensure that all sales data has been synchronised with the cash registers.
  • Enter any outstanding documents that might affect stock levels.
  • Create a backup of the database.

2. Creating a Stocktaking Document:

  • Go to the menu Items → Document Creation → Stocktaking
  • Select the appropriate price level (retail, wholesale, record-keeping, etc.).
  • Specify the initial quantity (from stock, 1.0, or 0.0) and enable price editing if needed.

3. Freezing Parts of the Document:

  • Regularly save the entered data using the Freeze function (Ctrl+Z). This will help prevent data loss in case of a system failure.
  • Frozen sections can later be retrieved and merged into a single document.

4. Automatic Filling:

  • Use the Automatic function (F6) to fill in the stocktaking document with missing items or to zero out products not present in the store.

5. Summing Up and Saving the Document:

  • Summarise the stocktaking document (F3) – calculate quantity and value differences.
  • Save the document to update the stock levels.

New in PC-Market: Real-Time Stock Updates

In the latest version of PC-Market, a real-time stock update feature has been introduced. This allows for simultaneous stocktaking and sales operations. The program automatically updates stock levels, minimising the risk of errors and providing flexibility in managing the inventory process.

Frequently Asked Questions and Issues

During stocktaking, you may encounter situations where it is necessary to correct a document or cancel the stocktaking process. Remember that:

  • Once saved, a document can only be edited within an open accounting period.
  • If corrections are needed, the document must be frozen, cancelled, and recreated based on the frozen data.
  • Using the “Repair Stock Levels” function helps eliminate the side effects of changes made to documents.

Conclusion

PC-Market is an advanced tool that simplifies and automates the stocktaking process in a store. With features such as freezing, automatic filling, and real-time stock updates, inventory management becomes quick and convenient. Remember to save your progress regularly and take advantage of modern solutions to optimise this process.
