Stock Counting

We have now completed the first full Inventory Count of our warehouse since we took on RetailOps. 

We have identified two issues following this and I am curious to find out how other people have handled this:

1. How are you certain that you have counted all of the locations that exist in RetailOps?  

By following a logical counting path around the physical warehouse I am confident that we have counted all of the physical shelves, but there seems to have been some locations created/import during data take on that do not exist in the physical warehouse.  I cannot see any physical warehouse location detail in the reporting tool to report on last counted date etc.  So how do you make sure that all of the locations in RO get checked and nothing gets missed? 

2. How do you deal with the periods between inventory counts? 

I had hoped to be able to maintain a rolling program (as time permitted) to get warehouse staff to count the least recently checked containers. We do not shut down the warehouse during inventory count, so it is possible for containers to get added/moved to areas that have already been counted and as such will not have been checked.  

Do you just leave this to get caught on the next full count, or do you have a strategy in place to verify these containers on an ongoing basis (in the absence of reporting data)? 

We deal with a wide range of SKU's and a very low quantity of each so inventory accuracy is critical for us. 

Thanks for your help
