Overview of WMS Stocktake
Overview
Stocktake lets your warehouse team count stock directly in Warehouse Management (WMS) by scanning or searching for products, instead of exporting and re-importing spreadsheets.
With stocktake, you can:
Run a full or partial inventory count across your locations.
Count products by scanning barcodes or searching by name or SKU.
Have multiple counters working at the same time across locations.
Review variances between counted and system quantities.
Complete stock adjustments directly in Cin7 Omni.
An internet connection is required. There is no offline option for stocktake.
