Inventory counts can often be a headache—manual entry, disjointed spreadsheets, outdated paper sheets, and missed items all lead to delays and insufficient data. The result? Frustrated staff, inaccurate stock levels, and lost time.

You’ll learn how to:

• Create smart count sheets tailored to how your team counts

Insight Works, a leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) specializing in manufacturing and distribution apps for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, continues to spotlight its powerful inventory solution: Advanced Inventory Count. Designed to eliminate the delays and guesswork common in inventory counting, the app gives users the structure, speed, and visibility missing from Business Central’s out-of-the-box tools. With the Advanced Inventory Count app, simplify inventory counts with comprehensive data entry, reconciliation, posting, and analysis tools.

“Inventory counts shouldn’t take over your warehouse or stall operations,” said Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works. “With Advanced Inventory Count, teams finish faster and more confidently—whether it’s a full count or a rolling cycle.”

From Manual Counts to Managed Processes

Business Central’s built-in Physical Inventory Journal works for simple needs—but when counts involve multiple users, bins, serial numbers, work-in-progress (WIP), or audit requirements, it falls short. Advanced Inventory Count fills the gap with structured workflows, built-in validation, and seamless integration with existing Business Central journals.

From barcode scanning to tailored count sheets and automated recount logic, the app equips users to handle counts with speed and confidence.

Lists individual count sheet lines, including item details, locations, expected quantities, and differences. This granular view allows inventory teams to reconcile discrepancies quickly and ensures accurate inventory reporting.

Why This Matters

Whether managing year-end or cycle counts, the difference between manual and streamlined processes becomes evident in the time saved and mistakes avoided. Advanced Inventory Count helps:

• Move Faster – Use multi-user entry and barcode scanning to cover more ground in less time.
• Stay Accurate – Flag discrepancies automatically, validate data before posting, and keep clean audit trails.
• Adapt to Any Setup – Supports bins, lots, serials, WIP, and advanced warehouse configurations.
• Avoid Posting Errors – Built-in tests catch missing data, blocked items, and config gaps.
• Own the Process – Run structured, repeatable inventory counts that meet real-world operational needs.

All-in-One Inventory Counting

Advanced Inventory Count isn’t just a nicer interface—it’s a complete inventory count management system. The app works seamlessly with both paper and barcode workflows and connects directly to standard journals in Business Central—no middleware or extra tools required.

Key Features Include:

• Multi-user entry
• Barcode integration and compatible with Android-based Mobile Devices
• Flexible, filter-based count sheet generation
• Smart recount functionality with audit tracking
• WIP reconciliation and posting
• Journal test reporting for clean postings
• Native Business Central integration
