First time inventory

[LOWAIRD1964]

Ok so I have my 1st official inventory coming up that's going to fall under my belt. I would like to know a few thoughts on some things. I have some chemicals laying around that where charged out on tickets but I maybe only a few ounces used, some not even opened, but they are paid for and OFF inventory. Just curious what the best practice would be. Should I put the new ones back in inventory? Or just get rid of the items? Please let me here your thoughts or any advice as I am a few weeks away from inventory and have some time to clean some stuff up. Thanks

lowaird ... it's a good way to make up some inventory $$$ .... I follow your thought there. Just be sure to only bring back in the part numbers that are current sellers for ya, otherwise you are shooting yourself in the foot when the dealer looks at "aging inventory" and you are the whole blame for that! Also, you will get dinged on the RIM-SLP-SDR purchase loyalty for "not buying" them from GM.

For inventory purposes. If it is on the shelf they are going to count it so make sure your quantity in your DMS and on your shelf match.

we get these items too, we just put them into a tote or box and label them "DO NOT COUNT", and explain they are partials and shop supplies previously billed.

That makes 2 of us

I tell the techs to keep all partials, or unused containers of chemicals/fluids, etc. out in their area. Easier for them, easier for me. It becomes a true shop supply at that point.

So, LOWAIRD1964, how did it go?
