I'm new to GP and have a question as it relates to the Stock Count Entry process.
During a particular month, on the last day of the month, we create a Stock Count Schedule to be used for cycle counting. We then count inventory which usually takes a day to complete and then a day to evaluate variances and another day to actually post the results to the Stock Count Entry. My question is, would there be any issue if we were to process a receipt of an item in the Stock Count into inventory the following month (say the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd) while the stock count process is occurring for month end?
Let's say we have a shirt qty of 100 valued at $1.00 per shirt on 11/30, totally $100 in value. On 12/2, our warehouse receives a shipment of 100 shirts that we purchased at $1.20 per shirt, totally $120 in value. Are we able to receive these shirts on the delivery date and not have it affect anything in GP as it relates to the stock count entry? Obviously, these items would be excluded from the physical inventory count and not entered into GP when we complete the Stock Count Entry as on 11/30 but would anything go wrong?
The issue we're having is our warehouse isn't sure if they can receive in any goods into the system until the stock count is complete and I'm not sure if that's the case. As long as the date in GP is set to the appropriate date (whether 11/30 or the current date the following month) the activity should be siloed, right?
Thank you in advance!
