Inventory Control and Management
Importance of Inventory Control
- Inventory control is essential for tracking the entry and exit of various products, ensuring accurate stock levels.
- It provides a record of goods stored in the warehouse, allowing for efficient management and conservation of inventory.
- Effective inventory systems help identify low turnover products and detect potential theft.
Types of Inventory Accounting
- Two main types of inventory accounting are discussed: physical count and cyclical/periodic surveys.
- Physical counts confirm data from the system by counting actual stocks to ensure accuracy.
Conducting Inventory Surveys
- Surveys are scheduled by the warehouse manager, requiring all workers to participate under auditor supervision at least once a year.
