# Inventory counting

[Inventory counting](https://bitergo.com/inventory) refers to the systematic process of recording and checking all goods and materials in a warehouse at a specific point of time. The aim of the inventory counting is to record and document the exact quantity, condition and value of the stock. The inventory is used to identify discrepancies in stock levels, reconcile accounting records with actual stock levels and provide the basis for accurate inventory management.

With the Warehouse Star Inventory Counting Apps, paperless stocktaking is child's play. Counting orders can be generated and released. The count is carried out using mobile handheld devices. Correction postings are generated depending on the results of the count. Finally, the stock is confirmed via an (SAP) connector.
