What this page is for
This page is the count sheet itself: one row per item in the stocktake's scope, with the quantity Tulindo expected, fixed the moment the sheet was made, and a box for what you actually count on the shelf. Count what is there, not what the Expected column says.
A box you leave blank is not counted, and is never treated as zero; submitting with any line still blank is refused, naming exactly which items still need a count, so nothing is accidentally written off for having gone unchecked. A box you enter as 0 is an ordinary count, and is treated differently from a blank one. As you type, the Variance column shows counted minus expected as you go.
Only people whose role can operate stock see this page, and only while the stocktake is still in its counting stage; once counts are submitted, the sheet is fixed and this page says so.
How to…
How to enter a count
Type the quantity you actually counted into each row's box, including 0 where you found none.
How to submit the counts
Press Submit counts. If every line is counted, you simply confirm. If some are still blank, Tulindo tells you how many and still lets you submit, but a genuinely incomplete submission — one with any line still blank at the moment you submit — is refused, naming every item still needing a count.
How to leave without losing your counts
Leaving the page with counts typed but not submitted asks you to confirm, because they have not been saved anywhere yet.
Worked examples
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar's supervisor counts the spirits shelf, typing 3 bottles of Jameson against an expected 5. The row shows a variance of −2 straight away. She leaves one unusual import spirit uncounted by mistake and presses Submit counts; Tulindo refuses and names that one bottle, so she goes back, counts it, and submits again.
Supermarket
Tumaini Supermarket's stock-taker counts a shelf of maize meal at exactly the expected quantity, typing the same figure shown in Expected. The variance reads 0, and once the sheet is approved, that line posts no movement at all — only the lines that actually differ change anything.
