The **Stocktake Dashboard** allows you to view and manage all stocktakes at the branch level, including their current status. Use this screen to search for existing stocktakes, monitor progress, and open a stocktake for processing.

## Screen Access

From the **Frameworks Menu**, navigate to **Inventory > Transaction Processing > Stocktake**.

## Screen Structure

The **Stocktake Dashboard** is organised into two main sections:

1. [Search Options](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/28384012/Stocktake+Dashboard+-+Field+Definitions#Search-Options) - Filter stocktakes by branch, ID and status.
2. [Results Grid](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/28384012/Stocktake+Dashboard+-+Field+Definitions#Results-Grid) - Displays the stocktakes matching the search criteria.

## Search Options

![image-20260702-074407.png](media://b67e22f5-4e33-4dc6-94ac-a6725b8ec794)

The Search Options section lets you filter the stocktakes returned in the Results Grid by branch, stocktake ID and status.

### Branch

The **Branch** field determines which branch's stocktakes are returned. Enter the branch number or select a branch from the **Branch** drop-down menu. Select **All Branches** to display stocktakes across every branch.

**Format:** Drop-down menu | **Required:** No | **Default:** User's logged-in branch | **Editable:** Yes

### Stocktake

The **Stocktake** field locates a specific stocktake by its ID. Enter the stocktake ID directly. The **Stocktake** field does not have a search or lookup option, so the ID must be known and entered in full.

**Format:** Numeric | **Required:** No | **Editable:** Yes

### Status

The **Status** field filters the **Results Grid** by the current stage of each stocktake. Select a status from the **Status** drop-down menu, or leave the field set to **All Open** to display all active stocktakes.

A stocktake moves through the following statuses:

- **New** - The stocktake has been created but not yet started.
- **Entering** - The stocktake has been started and counts can be entered.
- **Pre Analysis** - The **Complete Count** button has been clicked and Frameworks is calculating variances in the background.
- **Analysing** - The background task is running and analysing differences and variances.
- **Validating** - The stocktake supervisor is reviewing counts and variances. Adjustments to existing counts can be made but no new counts can be added.
- **Validated** - Validation is complete. No further adjustments can be made.
- **Applied** - Stocktake counts have been applied to stock levels. The stocktake can still be reversed at this stage.
- **Closed** - The stocktake has been marked as complete and can no longer be reversed.
- **Abandoned** - The stocktake has been scrapped. No further changes can be made and it cannot be applied.

**Format:** Drop-down menu | **Required:** No | **Default:** All Open | **Editable:** Yes

> ✅ For a full explanation of the stocktake lifecycle and how a stocktake moves between these statuses, refer to [Understanding Stocktake](https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/FRAM/701890566/Understanding+Stocktake).

### Find

The **Find** button returns the stocktakes matching the branch, stocktake ID and status entered in the **Search Options** section.

**Action:** Returns matching stocktakes in the **Results Grid**.

### New

The **New** button creates a new stocktake and opens the **Stocktake Maintenance** screen so the stocktake header details can be entered.

**Action:** Creates a new stocktake and opens the **Stocktake Maintenance** screen.
