A Practical Audit Routine for Agro Shops

1. Freeze a moment: audit early morning or after closing, so sales don't move stock mid-count. 2. Count by category: fertilizers by bag count and loose weight, pesticides by bottle/pack per batch, seeds by packet per lot. 3. Enter counts into the audit tool as you go — phone in one hand, godown in front of you. 4. Review the discrepancy report: investigate the big lines first (a missing bag of DAP matters more than a packet variance). 5. Approve adjustments so the ledger matches reality, and note causes — billing misses, damage, or shrinkage.

What Discrepancies Usually Mean

Consistent shortage in fast movers usually points to unbilled counter sales during rush; shortage in high-value pesticides deserves a harder look; excess often means purchase entries were missed — fixable with AI purchase OCR. Repeating the audit monthly turns it from a crisis ritual into a 90-minute habit that protects margins season after season.
