They start with a sale that was never written down, a delivery left in the back room, or a “we’ll count it next month” that never comes.</p>\n\n<p>Good stock management for a retail shop is a short loop you can repeat every week — not a perfect warehouse system.</p>\n\n<h2>The Three Movements That Matter</h2>\n\n<ol>\n  <li><strong>Out:</strong> every sale reduces quantity</li>\n  <li><strong>In:</strong> every delivery increases quantity the same day</li>\n  <li><strong>Adjust:</strong> breakage, expiry, owner take-home — written, not whispered</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>If any of those three lives only in someone’s head, your “remaining stock” is fiction.

It replaces the fog between counts.
