For years now I have been asked when traceable items will be included in the stock take. Typically, if there is 'missing' or found stock the users undertaking the stock take know which batch / serial numbers are affected. What should happen is that once the counts are entered, prior to the completion, a simple selection list could appear for those traceable items with missing / found stock so the identification number can be entered or selected (depending on whether you're adding or writing stock) and the relevant stock levels and nominals should then be adjusted.
Also on top of this at least if the Discrepancy report printed the recorded level and thus you could see the discrepancy to post via a write off category ? at present record a stock count of 8 for an item which gave you all the nice detail of an initial level of 10 of the item in stock when card was created even shows you the batches or serial numbers. But then just prints off a stock take discrepancies report which says you should have found 10 but you have only found 8 ? no instead it just says you should have found 10 but you have a discrepancy !!! <comment partially redacted by Sage>
