Barcode scanners are an efficient way to conduct Stock counts on the Rewaa platform. By scanning product barcodes multiple times, you can quickly record product quantities in stock. This method saves time and reduces manual effort.
Steps to Stock Counts
Navigate to:
Products & Inventory > Stock Count > Create Stock Count.
Add the following details:
Location: Select the branch to count its inventory.
Stock Name and Date: Automatically generated but can be modified as needed.
Start Scanning:
After selecting the branch, all products appear in the Product Name column, with quantities in the Expected column.
ℹ️ Composite products will not appear directly, as they consist of individual components that must be counted separately.
Example: For a "Cake" composite containing oil, eggs, and flour, count each ingredient individually. Changes in their quantities will affect the composite product.
Use Barcode Scanners:
Click the barcode icon next to the search field.
Place your cursor in the empty field, scan the product's barcode, and press Enter.
Scanned products will appear with a quantity of 1 by default.
Scan the barcode multiple times to increase the quantity or edit manually by clicking the 🖋️ icon.
Click Add to Count to reflect scanned quantities in the Count column.
Difference: The difference is displayed automatically, representing the quantity discrepancy between the amount recorded on the platform and the amount counted during the stock count.
Negative (-): Indicates fewer products in stock than expected. Example: In the Products section (inventory on the Rewaa platform), you have 9 units. During the actual count, you found only 1 unit. Enter the quantity you have, and the system will display a difference of (-8), indicating a discrepancy of 8 units between the platform's recorded quantity and your actual stock.
Zero (0): Quantities match exactly.
Positive (+): Indicates more products in stock than expected.
Cost: The cost value of the counted products is displayed based on the product cost you added in the Products section (inventory on the Rewaa platform).
If the counted quantity is lower, the product cost appears as a negative value based on the quantity difference. Example: A product costs 70 SAR per unit. In the Products section (inventory on the Rewaa platform), you have 9 units. During the actual count, you found only 1 unit. When you enter the actual quantity, the cost will be displayed as (-560 SAR).
If the counted quantity matches the recorded quantity on the Rewaa platform, the cost will be 0.
If the counted quantity is higher, the cost appears as a positive value based on the quantity difference.
ℹ️ The product cost affects the inventory value and net income, whether it increases or decreases.

Once all products are scanned and verified, click Complete.
Export Counted Products
