My first inventory count was a great experience. I had never seen or participated in an inventory count before so this was new for me and also an opportunity to expand my accounting knowledge. During my visit to the client site, I was surprised to see how complicated managing a plant could be.
Once I arrived on site with my supervisor, we received a list of all products in inventory. The plant, which is fairly large, has more than one warehouse to store its products. Since there are several warehouses and each is separated from the other, we had to travel by car to get from one to another. We had to sort the list that we received in order to organize inventory by location. Once the list was sorted, we had to perform some tests. This has been a rewarding and interesting experience especially because I learned a lot. I look forward to the next count.
