Create a stock take routine. Shop type and number of products: [SHOP_PRODUCTS]. Systems used: [SYSTEMS]. Time available and staff: [TIME_STAFF].

Write a routine with preparation, zones, counting sheets, counting rules (count twice, label counted areas), reconciliation with records, investigating differences, and adjustments. Provide a sheet layout, a schedule for cycle counts of fast movers, and a summary of shrinkage causes (errors, damage, theft, supplier shortages) with questions to explore each. Include a training note for staff and a post-count meeting agenda. Mark accounting treatment as an item for my accountant [VERIFY].

Also add a one-page count sheet layout and a rule for dealing with items found but not recorded, to be reviewed before adjusting stock records.

Add a short plan for what to do with damaged or expired items found during the count, including recording them before disposal.

Offer templates and checklists only. Wherever a rule applies to my trade or location, write [VERIFY] with [JURISDICTION] and let a qualified person decide how it applies to me.
