  • Is intended for conduncting an initial count of all of your inventory
  • Result in adjustments in, which appear in the SalesPad Cloud web application

Stock Count:

  • Uses iPod/iPads with a sled for scanning barcodes
  • Uses the SalesPad Cloud Barcode application and the SalesPad Cloud web application
  • Is initiated within SalesPad Cloud
  • Will display any variances in what the inventory records indicate and what was actually counted
  • Result in adjustments in and out

    • Creates an adjustment out if less was counted than what inventory records indicate
