What is it?
Perpetual inventory is part of effective inventory management. It is a system where all the necessary information on your goods (quantity and availability) is always up-to-date. Usually, the perpetual inventory system is connected with accounting software where orders are made and with the point of sale system (in retail). This connection to other programs gives a guarantee that the data is constantly updated.
Benefits of Implementing Perpetual Inventory System
Perpetual inventory allows you to track changes in inventory and provides real-time reports on available goods. This way you have a detailed overview of your stock for better inventory control. Generally, perpetual inventory does not need manual adjustment. It is only necessary when the physical inventory count shows different results due to breakage, loss or even theft and you have to make manual corrections in the system.
