Counting stock in Nory

How to count stock in Nory web and mobile apps

Counting your stock in Nory is the best way to stay in the know on all things inventory and make sure you’re running a profitable business.

Nory allows you to count stock using the web application on your laptop as well as the Nory IM mobile apps on Android and iOS phones.

Using the web app on your laptop? Click the basket icon in the left sidebar:

Start a new count by pressing the “New count” button in the top right corner of the screen, or select a draft count to continue a previously saved count.

If you’re using the Nory IM mobile app, Tap the inventory icon, then the Counts tab. Next, tap the “New count” button to start a new count, or or select a draft count to continue a previously saved count.

Choose the date that you want the count to register on.

💡In most cases this would be the day you are counting but in some cases you may wish to use a date in the future. An example of this would be if you have an offsite storage area that you want to count prior to doing your main count onsite.

Count Type

You can choose to count on a weekly or monthly basis. If you select weekly then Nory will use the closing values from the last weekly count as the opening values for the current count.

If monthly is selected then Nory will use the closing values from the last monthly count as the opening values for the current count.

Count Time

The count time dictates which sales data and stock movements are considered in the reconciliation report. Before sales means Nory will only take into account stock movements (waste, transfers & invoices)and sales up until the beginning of the date selected. After Sales accounts for all stock movements and sales until the end of the date selected.

💡If your stock period is Monday to Sunday and you count on Sunday use After sales, If you count on Monday Morning use Before Sales

If item is not counted

In cases where you have a large number of items to count and you only want or need to count a select number of lines on a regular basis you can select Use estimates. This option means that if you do not count a line then NOry will estimate the value you have in stock taking into account your opening value, sales, waste and transfers. You can select Set as zero if you would like Nory to assume you do not have any stock of an item unless you count it.

Counting stock

If your stock is separated into storage areas in the restaurant, you can use the storage areas dropdown to filter the list.

Hard-to-find items? Type item names into the search bar.

You can stop counting at any stage and save the count as a draft. To do just that, press the Save button while counting.

All draft counts are displayed on the counts list, marked as “draft”.

To reopen a draft count, choose that count from the list.

When reopening a draft count, you can edit its date and “day start” / “day end” time.

To complete a count, click “Finish”.

If you haven’t counted all available items, Nory will inform you how many items are not counted and confirm that either estimates or zeros will be added on those lines.

Next, Nory will display a reconciliation report showing the status of your inventory and changes since the previous stock count.
