Make an Inventory

  • Updated

With enforePOS, you can make an inventory, manage your inventory list and reconcile your shortages.  

Requirements

If you have not counted the stock yet, but you have already sold sales items in the cash register, the stock will be displayed as a negative number (e.g. -20). You can also count sales items with negative stock in the inventory.

Export Inventory List

If you have already counted your stock, you can export and print the inventory list. This way you can count your sales items and enter the values later collected in enforePOS.

Exporting an inventory list is only possible with a preview code. If you would like to know this preview code, feel free to contact our Care Team at care@enfore.com.
