Choose what to count, count it by scanning or on paper, then review only the lines that differ before you apply the count.
7 things it does
Count the whole shop, or just one category, brand or supplier
Basic and Professional
Can I count only one category or one brand instead of the whole shop? Choose to count the whole shop, one category, one brand or one supplier.
Without it
A full count of a large shop takes a long time, when often only one part needs checking. Counting everything to check one shelf is slow.
With it
Choose the scope before you start: the whole shop, one category, one brand or one supplier. The count covers only what you chose.
When you start a count you choose what it covers. The count then shows only those products, so you work through the part you need.
Other ways people ask this
count only one category of products
stock count for one brand or one supplier
partial stock count for one part of my shop
Count your shelves by scanning, with no mouse needed
Basic and Professional
Can I count my stock by scanning the barcodes? Scan a product's barcode, enter the quantity, and the next scan follows. The mouse is never needed to count.
Without it
Counting shelves by hand often means finding each product on a screen, one line at a time, with the mouse. The count drags on, and it is easy to lose your place.
With it
You scan a product's barcode, type how many you counted, and the next scan is ready. Your hands stay on the shelf and the count moves along.
Enter the quantity you counted, and the next scan follows straight after. Counting needs only the scanner and the keyboard, not the mouse. Each scan can add to the figure already there or replace it, depending on how the count is set.

Count on paper, then read the sheet back in without doubling it
Basic and Professional
Can I take the count sheet away on paper and enter it later? Export the count to a spreadsheet, count on paper, then import the filled sheet. Importing the same file twice is one import, so the count is not doubled.
Without it
Some shelves are easier to count with a pen. Typing the figures back in later is slow, and if you are not sure an import worked, trying again can double them.
With it
Export the count to a spreadsheet, take it to the shelves, and import the filled sheet. Reading the same file twice is counted once.
Export the count as a spreadsheet and take it to the shelves on paper. When the sheet is filled in, import it back into SellyPOS.

Count without seeing the expected figure, then recount what looks wrong
Basic and Professional
Can I count stock without the system showing what it expects? Blind counting is the default, so the expected quantity is not shown while counting. A flagged line can be counted again, and the second reading is added to the first.
Without it
If the count shows what the books expect, it is tempting to write that number down without really counting. The shelf and the figure then never really meet.
With it
The counter sees the product and an empty box to write in. A line that looks wrong can be counted again, and both readings are kept.
Blind counting is the default, so the expected figure is kept back while you count. You count what is on the shelf and write that down. If a line looks wrong, it can be flagged for a second count. The second reading is kept beside the first, and neither is written over.

recount a stock line that looks wrong
Count the shelves, review only what differs, then apply it
Basic and Professional
How do I count the shelves and then correct the system to match? Count products by scanning them, then review only the lines that differ, recount them if needed and apply the count. Once a count is applied, it is read-only.
Without it
A count often shows that the shelf and the books do not agree. Without a clear review, it is hard to tell a real shortage from a sale made while you were counting.
With it
You review only the lines that differ, with the expected figure and the sales since the count began. You recount the doubtful lines, then apply the count once.
It lists only the lines that differ, with the expected figure, the sales made since the count began, what you counted and the difference. Applying writes one adjustment, and an applied count is read-only.
Count the shelf, and see on each line how far the count is from the expected figure.

Keep selling while you count, and the count still adds up
Basic and Professional
Is my count still correct if I keep selling while I count? Sales made while a count is open are subtracted exactly once, so the count is arithmetically correct.
Without it
Counting takes time, and the shop keeps selling while you walk the shelves. A count taken that way can show stock missing that was really sold.
With it
Sales made during the count are taken off once. The figure then shows what is really missing, not what you sold while counting.
You can keep trading while a count is open. A sale made during the count is subtracted once, so it is not shown as missing. The figures still add up when the count is done.

Open a past stock count again, long after it was applied
Basic and Professional
Can I look at a stock count again after I have applied it? Counts are kept after they are applied, and a past count can be opened and read again.
Without it
Once a count is applied, the shelf figures move on. If someone asks what was counted, there is nothing to look at and the answer is lost.
With it
A count stays on record after it is applied. You can open a past count and read it again, as it was.
When you apply a stock count, the count is not thrown away. It stays in your history, and you can open it and read it again. Nothing about it changes when the shelf figures do. That helps when someone asks what was counted, after the figures have moved on since.
