Managing a store's inventory effectively requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses various activities. The choice indicating all activities—cycle counts, order review, delivery check-in, CII inventories, OV order review, store supply orders, waiting bin maintenance, non-saleable returns, and shelf label management—illustrates the multifaceted nature of inventory management. Cycle counts are periodic counts of inventory items to ensure that the quantity on hand matches what is recorded in the inventory system. This helps identify discrepancies and enables timely adjustments. Order review is essential for assessing inventory levels against anticipated needs, promoting timely reordering and preventing stockouts or overstock situations. This process includes reviewing outstanding orders and ensuring that they are fulfilled correctly. Delivery check-in involves inspecting incoming shipments for accuracy and quality. It ensures that the correct products have been received in proper condition, contributing to effective inventory tracking. CII (controlled substances) inventories are critical for compliance with regulations surrounding the handling of these drugs. Accurate tracking of controlled substances is necessary to prevent loss and misuse. OV (over-the-counter) order review ensures that non-prescription items also remain stocked properly, facilitating customer access to all pharmacy offerings. Store supply orders help maintain general operational supplies needed for day-to-day functions, ensuring efficiency in service.
