What is Inventory Discrepancies?
The Inventory Discrepancy Resolution process involves coordination between inventory analysts, warehouse staff and master data management employees to research and resolve inventory inconsistencies discovered by front-line staff members. Inventory discrepancies can be related to pricing or cost setup errors, mis-labeled products, and/or errors during the receiving process (i.e., stock not recorded into inventory system correctly). Once the reason for the discrepancy is determined, the inventory analyst is responsible for contacting the appropriate parties to resolve the issue.
