Stock counting for curtain shop: count the same unit that you sell
Distinguish ready-made curtain pairs from rails, hooks and other accessories. State the dimensions of a finished set.
Separate usable stock from damaged or returned goods awaiting a decision. A shelf total is meaningful only when the counted pack matches the item definition.
Worked reconciliation
| Movement | Curtain pair units |
|---|---|
| Opening usable count | 20 |
| Received from supplier | +10 |
| Sold | −4 |
| Expected remaining | 26 |
| Physical count | 25 |
| Difference to investigate | −1 |
Expected stock = opening units + received units − sold units, before returns or adjustments. Here 20 + 10 − 4 = 26. The physical count is one lower. Check deliveries, damage and unrecorded movement before deciding the reason.
