Stock Counts and Outlet Transfers for Clothing Stores
A recorded count and a counted rack drift apart over a season. A physical count writes down what was actually found, and a transfer note moves pieces between outlets.
Running a count
What differences usually mean
A short count is not always theft. A piece sold without its tag being scanned, a transfer never acknowledged and a return put back on the rack unrecorded all look the same in a count. The count record keeps the reason beside the figure. Patterns then become readable across months.
Moving pieces between outlets
What the client decides
- How often a full count runs, and which sections go first
- Who may approve a stock adjustment
- Whether an outlet can transfer without head office approval
- The reason list used for a counted difference
Frequently asked questions
Must the shop close for a count?
No. Counting runs section by section, and a rack can be counted while the rest of the floor sells.
Can a count be done on a phone?
Yes, where a phone can read your tags. Which handsets suit is checked before the count is planned.
Who approves an adjustment?
The roles you nominate. Until someone accepts it, the difference sits on the record without changing stock.
What happens to pieces lost in transit?
The transfer stays open. Neither outlet carries the piece as sellable, and the owner can see it waiting.
