Before completing a line check, you should ensure that all necessary pending stock records (e.g. Supplier Orders, Wastage) have been completed. 

To create a line check, head to Period Management > Line Checks > Line Checks, select [New Line Check].

In the New Line Check window:

• Template: Select a Line Check Template from the list
• Select [Create]. 

You'll then be taken into the line check where are the top:

• Created By: Displays the user that created the line check. 
• Create Date Time: Displays the time that the line check was created. 
• Line Check Date Time: Select the date and time that the line check count physically occurred.

Within the Line Check Items section of the line check, against each product enter the count into the relevant Quantity column(s).

Counts must be entered against products marked as "Required".  

Once the counts have been completed, select either: 

• [Calculate] to declare the counts and review the results.
• [Update Line Check] to just save changes so far.  

Once the line check is in Calculated state, the following is shown for each product: 

• Total Count: Displays the total count declared in the line check.
• Expected Qty: Displays the quantity in stock expected at the Line Check Date Time.
• Variance Qty: Displays the difference between the Expected Qty and Total Count.

Note that any variance shown is for information only; the balance of the stock is not adjusted. 

Once the line check variances have been reviewed, to close the line check select [Complete].
