Just wondering. Things that have been missing for two years. Should I dispose of them manually? I have some feeling that when you finalise it may do this?
Which way is better?
Yes it will automatically dispose of them when you finalise, PROVIDING that you enter the correct date, when prompted with the question “write off items missing before”. Note it says BEFORE, so if you enter the date of when the stocktake was finalised 2 stocktakes ago then you won’t write off the items that were missing from 2 stocktakes, you need to enter the date AFTER the finalisation date from 2 years ago,. (Hope this is clear.)
My philosophy when dealing with major decisions regarding stocktake (such as initialising & finalising) is to always do them in the morning when there is less chance of making a mistake as your brain isn’t fried from scanning in barcodes. Also never finalise in a rush ’cause that’s when you can stuff things up. If the phone keeps ringing & people are asking for favours & people are knocking on the door & some child is calling out “Miss!” then that is not a good time to finalise.
