Information

The Blind Stock Counts feature prevents users from having access to expected stock on hand figures prior to entering end of period stock counts. 

Within a stock period, all Stock Period Reports for the period are hidden from view within the period and within the main menu whilst the period is in Current and Pending state. 

Once the period is progressed to the Approved state, the reports become available to review, and at this stage the period can either be marked as Completed state to lock down all period results, or rolled back to Pending state (by a user that has rights to do so) to allow for any corrections.

Note that the Line Checks feature may still provide visibility of expected stock on hand figures throughout a period, however these are limited to selected products per company configuration, and visibility of the user that declared the line check and when they did it is available against the line check record.  

Configuration 

This feature is enabled at site level, and can be enabled and disabled at any time, providing the flexibility of having this as a permanent solution for all sites, or a temporary solution for sites under audit. 

Within the Inventory Management tab of the site setup page for the relevant site, enable the Enforce Blind Stock Counts setting. For more information, Click Here.
