View and export inventory variance report with Square for Retail
About inventory variance reports
With Square for Retail Plus, you can see, compare, export and adjust your inventory to maintain accurate stock levels by viewing your inventory variance report or reviewing historically completed counts via the Square Retail POS app or the Square Dashboard.
Before you begin
Your staff needs to be assigned the necessary permissions to view and export inventory variance reports. Learn how to set inventory permissions with Square for Retail.
Check that your Square Point of Sale app is up to date as Inventory Counting requires the latest version of the app.
You will not be able to access full counts while you have an ongoing cycle count in progress. Discard or commit any ongoing cycle counts before continuing. The full counting feature is hidden until cycle counts have been committed to preserving any data you have tallied towards an active count.
