When the number of counters is one, and if the variance in a row exceeds the percentage you defined here, SAP Business One highlights the row in red.

The calculation for a variance percentage is:

  • Counted Qty › In-Whse Qty on Count Date: Variance % = (Counted Qty - In-Whse Qty on Count Date) ÷ In-Whse Qty on Count Date × 100

  • In-Whse Qty on Count Date › Counted Qty: Variance % = (In-Whse Qty on Count Date - Counted Qty) ÷ In-Whse Qty on Count Date × 100

When the number of counters is two, and if the variance (the difference between the two counters’ counted quantities) in a row exceeds the percentage you defined here, SAP Business One highlights the row in red.

The variance percentage for a row is the higher one of the following two values:

  • Percentage Value 1 = Variance ÷ Counter 1 Count × 100

  • Percentage Value 2 = Variance ÷ Counter 2 Count × 100
