Why does a variance appear on an inventory or stock position?
In Cash register → Stocks, the variance on an inventory line is the difference between:
- the quantity you counted during inventory;
- the calculated position from Activiteez (sales, restocking, and recorded movements since the last reference point).
A non-zero variance means physical count and software calculation do not match. Common causes:
- Missing sale or restock, or entry on a different date.
- Counting error during inventory.
- First inventory in the displayed period: it is the reference (no variance on that count); variances appear on later counts.
- Item not tracked correctly: check Inventory → Active and stock name in Configure cash register items.
To investigate: Review stock positions. To correct after review: Correct a count variance.
