I am assisting a customer with a warehouse that has significant on-hand discrepancies (>60%).
In addition to changing their business processes so this doesn't happen again, they need to do a 100% physical inventory and get back to accurate data in order for them to reset.
The mobile scanning solution they are implementing will allow them to go out and count everything in the warehouse easily, without a pre-created count journal.
The question is, is there any harm to zeroing out the entire warehouse on-hand inventory first and just counting back in what is actually there? This is a food and beverage company, so it is extremely important that batch attributes, traceability, quality history, etc. are not lost.
And.. if zeroing it out isn't a problem, is a count journal the right way to do that, or movement journal, or inventory adjustment?
Thanks,
