Inventory Quantity Variance Check

Check recorded inventory quantities against the physical count. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

The system quantity and the counted quantity for each item reviewed.

How it works

1. Record the system quantity for each item.
2. Record the counted quantity.
3. Recompute the variance and its share of the system figure.
4. Return the variance list without adjusting stock.

The output

item | qty_system | qty_counted | variance | variance_pct | verdict

Worked fictional example

Fictional item showed a system quantity of 240 and a count of 228: variance of minus 12, 5% of the system figure.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
