Know your stock.
Plan what comes next.

Record goods received, goods issued and quantities remaining so your records agree with the stock you hold.

Four practical steps.

Record the item name, storage location and one consistent unit, such as kilograms or pieces. Start with an actual count.

Note the date, quantity and supporting record for each movement. Distinguish sales, returns and damaged goods.

At an agreed interval, count the goods again. Investigate differences before adjusting records, keeping the reason and reviewer’s name.

Review fast-moving items, older stock and supplier delivery times. Plan purchases with the funds actually available.

Each item has a clear unit.I recorded receipts and issues.I compared records with a physical count.I identified replenishment needs.
