Approve an inventory count

When an inventory count has all of the necessary information, you can approve it. When you approve an inventory count, ezyVet locks the product quantities of the inventory location as of the date and time of the inventory count.

  • Make sure that the inventory count information is correct
  • Make sure that your user account has the Financial > Inventory Counts > Approve permission
Note: After you approve an inventory count, you cannot:
  • Unapprove it
  • Deactivate it
  • Make changes to its information

Thus, if you approve an inventory count that is not accurate, you must make a different inventory count record with correct information.

Important: When you approve an inventory count, ezyVet locks the product quantities as of the date and time of the inventory count. Then, only records with a date and time after the inventory count change the product quantities. If you approve a record with a date and time before the inventory count, the record does not change the product quantities (for example, a pending invoice or a pending received inventory record).
To approve an inventory count, do this procedure.
  1. Select Financial.
    The Financial tab
  2. Select Inventory Count.
    The Inventory Count command
    ezyVet shows a New Inventory Count screen.
  3. In the left sidebar, find and select the applicable inventory count.
  4. Select Approve.
    ezyVet shows an Approve this inventory count? pop-up window. The pop-up window shows the date and time of the inventory count. ezyVet locks the product quantities as of the date and time of the inventory count. ezyVet does not use today's date and time.
  5. If the pop-up window shows records that are not approved, do one of these steps:
    Note: The records have a date before the inventory count.
    • If the records must not change the product quantities, go to step 6.
    • If the records must change the product quantities, select Cancel. Change the date and time of each record to a date and time after the inventory count. Then do this procedure again from step 4.
    Note: The pop-up window shows the quantity of records of each record type. To get a CSV file of the records, select Download CSV. The CSV file has these columns:
    • The record type
    • The record ID
    • A web address of the record
    Note: You cannot approve or change the records from the pop-up window.
