Carry out Continuous Inventory
<b>Purpose</b>
With the continuous inventory method you take inventory on a selected number of storage bins in a storage type.  The inventory can take place at any time during the fiscal year. Compared to the annual inventory count at the end of the fiscal year, the continuous inventory has some advantages.
The effort for the inventory is not concentrated on a certain day or days but is distributed over the entire year.  This can result in a better levelling of the workload in the warehouse.
Inventory can be conducted during slow times, for example, during the summer vacation period.
With a reduction in the effort required at the end of the fiscal year, a company can respond better to problems that might arise during an end-of-year closing.
When an inventory is carried out on a continuous basis, up-to-date information about the correspondence between the warehouse stock and the book inventory is always available.
