Post Count Validation
A comparison of physical count with recorded balances and consideration of transactions that have occurred during the time of the physical count, but have not been posted to the records. Conduct a post count validation (second blind count) of discrepant items. The purpose of post count validation is to determine the validity of the count. Post count validation research ends when the accuracy of the count has been verified.
Pre Adjustment Research
A review of potential discrepancies, which involves conducting warehouse search counts, consideration of recent transactions, receipt/issue documentation and verification of catalog Federal Logistics (FEDLOG) data. The purpose of pre-adjustment research is to determine the correct balance. Pre-adjustment research ends when the balance has been verified or the adjustment quantity determined.
Causative Research
An investigation of discrepancies (i.e. gains/losses) consisting of (as a minimum) a complete review of all transactions to include supporting documentation, catalog change actions, shipment discrepancies, and unposted or rejected documentation occurring since the last completed inventory. The purpose of causative research is to identify, analyze, and evaluate the cause of inventory discrepancies with the aim of eliminating repetitive errors. Causative research ends when the cause of the discrepancy has been discovered or when, after review of the transactions, no conclusive findings are possible and an inventory gain/loss transaction is posted to bring the records in balance. If no conclusive findings occur, note in the stock record folder that causative research had been accomplished.
