Hi All,

Just need some advice regarding the store inventory.

I used Brick store software to inventory and then uploaded the inventory to my
store.

I have closed my store to change the way I store the Lego (so transferring the
Lego pieces into a new location).

I'm discovering a large number of pieces that are not in my inventory but
I have the files that I used to upload them into the store.

The pieces have disappeared from my inventory and there is a lot of them.

Is this common or does anyone know if any issue like this

Steve

I take a backup most nights because of issues like this, and 99%+ (okay 100%)
of the time it is my error. I thought I clicked verify file, but obviously have
not or I don't finalize the verification step (upload file.)

The only thing I find difficult is doing a difference comparisons on my store
inventory and my backup files. Therefore, now, I double and triple check that
I am doing all of the steps.

This is not to say that the site does not have any errors, I am just saying,
personally, I have found myself to be at fault for my inventory errors. Which
I have not had for a few months. (Touch wood)

Also, I try to do a physical inventory during slow sales periods. That helps
find things that are not in inventory, but should be and items that are missing.
I only physically count items that are less than 25 to 50, and counts that look
obviously off.

It’s “touch(er)” in French too… but the accompanying gesture is generally knocking
(one own’s head when there’s no obvious wood nearby ).
