# Stocktake

A stocktake is the facility by which stock is counted and the quantity in stock updated as a batch. The stocktake facility allows the user to specify multiple Items that are to be counted and to enter a counted quantity.

Once satisfied with the counting, the stocktake is then applied, which updates the quantities in stock to reflect the counted quantities. Before a stocktake is applied, it can be modified as many times as you like with no effect on the current stock quantities. Once applied, the stocktake cannot be modified.
