Type the count. I explain the variance.

Slack at the shelf: count PCB-001 47. I log the count, compute variance against current on-hand, and reply in-thread with what I think happened. No session ceremony, no count sheets to reconcile later.

Web fallback at /counts if you're at the computer. Same flow: expand a row, type what's on the shelf, hit Log count.

When the variance is meaningful (1+ units), I draw on the last five stock movements to suggest a likely cause: an over-credited PO receipt, an over-counted production task output, a recent manual adjustment. The reasoning shows up next to the variance so you can sanity-check before posting an adjustment.

Three actions: Apply adjustment (posts a cycle_count_adjustment stock movement and resolves the event), Recount (re-open it), Investigate (mark it pending until you figure it out).

Each morning I rank your SKUs by reorder pressure (how close to the reorder point they are) and how long since you last counted them. The top of the list is what to count today. No need to remember a quarterly cycle plan.
