Hello.
Welcome to STOCK 5 MINS AGO that helps smart inventory management :)

Today, I would like to talk about “Inventory Check, when should we do it?” that many business owners are curious about.
Although inventory checks can feel a bit cumbersome and annoying, they are actually a very important process that cannot be missed in store operations.

📦 Why is an inventory check necessary?

When selling or delivering goods in the store,
there are times when you get confused about “How many items do we actually have in stock?”

Due to minor things like sales, returns, handling defects, or even simple data entry errors,
the actual inventory and the quantities shown in the system can differ.
If this difference accumulates, the ordering timing is delayed, leading to missed sales opportunities or
on the contrary, resulting in holding too much inventory.

Therefore, periodic inventory checks are
‘annoying but necessary tasks’. In particular, for perishable food, seasonal products, and consumables,
regular checks are essential for items that circulate quickly.

🗓️ When is it good to do?

There is no definitive answer, but generally, doing it once a month is most common.
Stores with high sales or online markets may check every two weeks,
and large warehouses or wholesale formats often organize quarterly checks.

However, it is advised to check at least once during the following times.

• Right after new products are received

• After an event or promotion

• When the delivered quantity does not match with the supplier

• When the system inventory and the actual quantity appear to differ

In such situations, it is better to catch any issues in advance through spot checks in addition to regular checks before problems escalate.
