HOW TO PREVENT FROM AND DEAL WITH DUMMY INVENTORY?

Inventory is always a core issue to any Enterprise. In fact, it is usually difficult to perform an inventory of goods in the warehouse without any error or difference between actual figures and records. So, what is the cause of imaginary inventory? How to prevent from and deal with imaginary inventory effectively? Refer to our article below for more information on inventory.

1. Causes for Imaginary Inventory

Firstly, imaginary inventory may be a result of subjective reasons: storekeepers often estimate and perform a poor inventory of stock level while the delivery of goods from and to warehouses is loosely controlled, and more importantly, the system is not accurately updated for stock-in, stock-out, and return of the goods, which usually results in a lot of differences in inventory data.

Secondly, imaginary inventory may be a result of objective causes: Processes are not systematized between stock-in and stock-out; arising transactions are not timely updated in the system.

2. Existing Difficulties That Cause High Imaginary Inventory Level

Distributors’ failure to control their inventory levels effectively: normally, distributors will have to estimate the volume of stock items, and then notify enterprises of inventory level. But, manufacturing enterprises are unable to make accurate statistics of distributors’ stock level and market conditions, and they easily make erroneous production decisions.

Lack of an inventory control process: systematizing the inventory control process is a relatively important task. Stock-in and stock-out deliveries are often accompanied with documents, some of which may be lost or inconsistent with each others due to the fact that deliveries to and from warehouses are not updated in the system, but only notified among storekeepers. Thus, there are usually some inaccuracies or inconsistencies between system data and actual numbers.

The problem of “cooking data”: when salespersons are active in the market, they will collect data on market conditions, demands, coverage, competitors, and even customers, etc. However, their data contains many inaccuracies while the administrators have no tool to control the accuracy of market and product data.
