Count in the units you sell
If you buy by the carton but sell by the piece, keep your stock in pieces and record how many pieces are in a carton. Then every sale, carton or single, takes the right amount off.
Set a reorder level for each item
A reorder level is the quantity at which you buy more. A good starting point is about two weeks of sales plus your supplier’s delivery time.
Count the shelf regularly
Count your fast-moving items every week and everything else monthly. When the count and the books differ, find out why: an unrecorded sale, a damaged item, or theft.
- Record damaged and expired items as they happen.
- Record every purchase so stock goes back up.
- Look at items that are always short: they need extra attention.
