Common Pitfalls & Best Practices
Avoid Negative Stock Balances: Always submit Purchase Receipts or Opening Balances before submitting delivery shipments or invoices so your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) calculates accurately.
Conduct Periodic Physical Stock Audits: Run the Stock Balance Report, print the checklist, count physical shelf quantities, and post a Stock Movement (Adjustment) for any differences.
