We have an inventory system that tracks all of the items that go into/out of a particular department.\nThe computer program that our inventory system utilizes has a procedure that essentially takes a "snap shot" of what the warehouse has at that moment.\nWe take that "snap shot" form, and compare what it says with actually walking down each aisle and making sure the counts match.  If there is any discrepancy, we note it on the form...and then take those notes to the computer to update the computer program.\n\nThis is usually done 1-2 times per year, as each week and month we do a cycle count to keep a closer eye on supplies needed for production.\n\nEach company, as you'll soon find out, has it's own set of standards...but there is some basic fundamentals.\n\nFor more information, you can check out various inventory/logistics magazine articles on the subject.  You can also check APICS.

According to U.S. GAAP, inventory should be recorded at cost. Cost should include not only the price paid to purchase the goods, but also, all expenses made to have the item ready for sale at your location (e.g. freight, custom duties), etc. except VAT or sales tax.\nBut, if Market Value is lower, you should record it at market value. This value in turn should never excede it's Realizable Value, that is, the sum of the sale price and direct sale expenses (e.g., comissions, taxes, etc.).

What goes in: Every invoice or receipt that is paid out. Labor, lumber, permit fees, pizza for the local kids who might help, etc.\n\nIf you're computer-savvy, Microsoft Excel is a simple but competent way to keep track of the expenses. If not, then feel free to do it the old-fashioned way by pen and ink.\n\nSimplest way to organize it would be a sequential listing by month. At the end of the month, tally the month's expenditures. If you want information by category, e.g., how much have we spent on lumber to date, then you could make the colums as categories. In that case, a computer program such as Excel would come very much in handy but it's not critical.\n\nBest of success.

Inventory - well just ask the accountant for a list of all purchases during the last two years, if they ask if you need it tomorrow, tell him or her that if you needed it tomorrow you would of asked for it tomorrow.\n\nThen count all the computers, monitors, and servers, printers, office desks, chairs, give a brief description of each and give them to the accountant to determine a replacement cost, and  a current market value... and again if they ask if you need it tomorrow, tell him or her that if you needed it tomorrow you would of asked for it tomorrow.\n\nIf anything goes wrong - blame it on the accountant...\n\nif you want any more advice on how to climb the ladder your going to have to send me money.

Go to Lowe's and get a couple of those organizers for hardware, etc. The ones with like 20 little drawers or so. Get a label gun, and voila! That's what a lot of dentists do.

Inventory management!\n\nA store updates inventory when they get items in and then as they are sold, they are scanned at the checkout line.  This way the computer knows how many are in stock less estimated shrinkage(theft) and can automatically re-order without needing to physically count the ones in stock and constantly monitor remaining inventory. Became mainstream because of Walmart's well-known automated inventory technique, they refused to inventory any items that did not have UPC and now pretty much everything you buy has it. isn't technology wonderful?\nhope this helps

For example when year end physical stock taking is done the quantity as shown in the books of the company as stock on hand has to be physically verified and recorded seperately to know any excess or deficit or shortages, and any usable unusable , broken etc etc.This job is done by the quantity surveyor. \nAlso when some body makes a claim for any shortage in receipt in transit etc a surveyor from outside agency does physical inspection of the quantity etc and he too is called quantity surveyor.(apart from quality inspectors)\nA cost estimator can be employed either to determine the cost of a new product yet to be produced or for an item where expenditure has been incurred and some value has to be apportioned for compensation purposes. He becomes the value surveyor.
