When a point-of-sale system uses the same product records as inventory, staff can review sales and stock changes together. The records still need regular checks: a missed sale, return, damage, or manual adjustment can affect the quantity shown.
Keep products easy to identify
Use consistent names, units, and identifiers in the product catalog. If you use a barcode scanner, check that each code points to the correct product. Agree on how staff should record returns, damaged goods, and other stock changes.
Review stock as you sell
Completed POS sales can update inventory quantities for the products sold. Review stock on hand before confirming an order, and investigate differences during a physical count. Do not assume an inventory figure is exact if some sales or adjustments are still waiting to be recorded.
Check your SokoWise setup
SokoWise POS and inventory tools connect sales records with product quantities. The exact workflow depends on your setup. Test a sale, return, and adjustment, then check that the quantity shown matches your process.
