Counting and adjusting inventory
Run a cycle count from plan to posted history, and make a one-off correction when a count isn't warranted.
On-hand quantity in Skuvelo comes from you, not from a sales channel — see getting started for why. This is how you establish it and keep it current: a cycle count for a planned, structured check, or a one-off adjustment when you just need to correct a number.
Start from the decision table
Inventory opens on a decision table, not a plain product list: every SKU ranked by urgency, with availability, days of cover, and a recommended action. The health chips — Stockout, At Risk, Excess, Healthy — are shareable links, so filtering to one segment and sending the URL to a teammate shows them exactly the same filtered view.
Run a cycle count
- Open Inventory → Cycle Counts and click + Plan count.
- Pick the location to count and add each SKU with + Another item. Leave Blind count on so whoever counts records what they physically see rather than what the screen expects, then click Plan count.
- Click Assign to me, then Start counting. The expected quantities are frozen the moment the count is planned and stay hidden while the count is open, so the count itself is never biased by the system's number.
- Enter what's physically on the shelf for each line — a real
0is a valid count — and submit. This works the same from a phone on the floor as from a desk. - Review the variance: Skuvelo now reveals the expected figures alongside what was counted, line by line. Approve the counted figures, or send a disputed line back for a recount.
- Click Post to history. On-hand updates to match what was physically counted, and every variance becomes its own audited entry — nothing is silently overwritten.
Make a one-off adjustment
For a single correction that doesn't need the full count workflow — shrinkage, damage, a known miscount — use Adjustments → New adjustment. Pick the SKU and location, choose Add or Remove units, and write down why. The reason is free text today rather than a fixed list of categories, but it's saved with the entry and every adjustment carries your name in the history, so nothing lands on-hand without a record of who changed it and why.
