All items deserve a physical count

It is reasonable when in the storeroom you may find some items that need to go on the shelf.  If for some reason the item does not have an inventory balance record, you cannot perform a physical count.  This seems like a miss.  Manage / Mobile  should add the inventory balance record in this case and apply the new count to support keeping inventory balance records accurate.

    Hi,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Our team has reviewed your idea, and we would like to evaluate the market reach further before we make a decision. So we will leave it here as Future Consideration for others to show support by voting and commenting. We will reevaluate within the next 6months and decide based on the additional feedback. Thank you again for your idea.

    @Guest Thank you for submitting the Idea, we appreciate the feedback. For this use case, what would be the criteria for an item to be considered during the generation of a Count Book or in AdHoc counting? Would it be the item having been added to the Storeroom and being Active / Pending obsolescence? (Currently the requirement also includes it having a balance record, would removing that be the only change to achieve the desired goal?)

    Agreed, every item should be counted.
    If an item is physically present but lacks an inventory balance record, it blocks accurate reconciliation. It would be helpful if Manage/Mobile could auto create the record during a count, allowing teams to update stock levels immediately and maintain inventory accuracy.
