Physical Inventory Reconciliation Step 4 of 7 - Printing the Audit |
Printing the Audit (PIS #3). The Physical Inventory Worksheet Audit is a report that shows the variance between the current quantities, as per the system, and the actual quantities, as posted during Physical Inventory Posting. The variance column should be reviewed carefully. If the variance is outside of the normal limit for that item, the item should be recounted. If a different quantity is counted the second time, return to Physical Inventory Posting and repost this item's quantity. It will not be necessary to repost or toggle through all of the items, as the system will still have the previous postings in memory. After posting all of the recounted item quantities for the program, rerun the audit to ensure that the variances are within normal limits. Recounting is not uncommon during physical inventory. It is best that the item be counted twice and be correct than to enter an invalid quantity.
