Run a full physical count

A full physical count counts everything in a warehouse. Most teams do one to set opening stock when they start on Klovio, and perhaps once a year after that.

Before you count

• Schedule it for outside operating hours, or pause receiving and picking.
• Make sure every location is labeled — see Print barcode location labels.
• Have enough counters and devices for the floor.

Run the count

1. Go to Inventory → Inventory → Cycle counts and start a count scoped to the whole warehouse.
2. Split locations across your counters.
3. Each counter works location by location: scan the location, scan each item, enter the quantity.
4. Klovio tracks coverage so you can see what’s still uncounted.

Apply the results

When every location is counted, review the differences and apply them. For a first-time count, this establishes your stock; thereafter it corrects it.

First-time setup

Setting opening stock? A full count is the most reliable way — better than typing quantities in. You finish with stock that matches the floor exactly, location by location.

Tip: count the same way twice in high-value zones — two counters, independently. Where they agree, you’re done; where they differ, recount just that bin.
