Delivered quantities update stock.

Compare expected and received units against an advance shipping notice. Posting a confirmed receipt creates the inventory movement, tying what arrived to the supplier delivery.

What arrived becomes a record.

INSPECTION NOTE

Two damaged jackets held aside.

Accepted units become available stock. The two rejected units remain in quarantine for supplier review.

Ready to confirm

396 delivered = 394 accepted + 2 rejected. The delivery reconciles.

Physical counts settle the difference.

Expected and observed quantities can be reviewed before corrections are posted in a single transaction. Stocktake history supports investigation after the adjustment.

  • Baseline

    Snapshot the expected units.

  • Observation

    Enter what is actually present.

  • Review

    Inspect variances before posting.

  • Correction

    Retain the audit trail.

HORIZON · CYCLE COUNTING

Questions, answered.

Can a young company be our system of record?

Test the whole platform before committing: free 6-week POC on your own data, no contract. Live in 12 to 15 weeks, end to end.

Does horizon calculate the buy?

No. WSSI, OTB, assortment and replenishment calculations belong in core and core plus.

Can outbound work reserve inventory?

Yes. Commitments can be released or consumed without physically changing on-hand quantities.

What happens to rejected goods?

Inspections capture accepted and rejected quantities. Unacceptable stock can be quarantined, scrapped or returned to the supplier.

How are cash flow assumptions tested?

Create scenarios, calculate runs, commit results and review summary totals.

A buying decision deserves proof.
