Why does the Stocktake status show last month instead of the current month?
Written by The Customer Success Team

This is because the previous Stocktake has not been completed. To complete a previous stocktake and start a current month stocktake, the previous month’s Stocktake needs to be closed off. Please follow the below steps, or check out this article for more information, Month End Process & Processing Stocktakes.

  1. From ‘Dashboard’, go to [Inventory] [Stock Locations].

From ‘Dashboard’, go to [Inventory] [Stock Locations].

2. Click on the required Stock Location name highlighted in ‘blue’.

3. Inside the Stock Location, click on [Stock Takes] tab, fourth tab from the left. Then click on the ‘Edit’ icon shown on the line of the open Stocktake, as below.

4. On the pop-up screen, click on the drop-down under ‘Period’ and change the month from previous to the current month. In this case October, to current month, in this case November, and click [Save].

Repeat for all applicable Stock Locations.

It is important to note if the ‘blue’ [Close] button is clicked, it is impossible to correct at that stage.

Also, when the Stocktake Variances are transferred out, please note the Period will be for the current month.
