Hi John-
If you run inventory reconcile, do any of these stock count variances show up on the report?
If they are increase variances, are there lots on these transactions?
On the items contained in these variance transactions, do they currently have any on hand quantities?
Before starting the stock count, I always take a backup and run reconcile on sales, purchasing and inventory first. I know in the year-end guides Microsoft recommends to run the inventory reconcile before starting the stock count.
If inventory reconcile finds errors and attempts to fix them, you'll need to verify they are in fact OK. Otherwise, I believe you are basically going to be jumping off a cliff with making transaction after transaction to try and fix this.
Is there any more information -- like screen shots -- you can provide?
Joe
