If you are experiencing frequent inaccurate stock counts there are many possible causes for this problem. If a discrepancy exists between a stock value in POSitive and a report that shows something different then a routine may need to be run to synchonize your stock counts.
Here are some ways to prevent inaccurate stock counts:
1) Make sure you enter all your stock through purchase orders. The Verify/Adjust option should only be used to correct a problem with your stock.
2) Make sure you have no pending purchase orders if you are going to run the verify inventory files routine.
3) Try to avoid pre-sales when possible. If you enter where your stock came from before you sell it then pre-sales will not be a factor.
4) If a hardware problem causes the computer to crash while you are using POSitive and you were in the middle of a transaction make sure you go back and check the all things related to that transaction.
