Once you have captured the counted quantities, you can view the differences between the quantities saved by the Stock Take Selection program and counted quantities:

using the Stock Take Report by Ticket program (if you used the Stock Take Tickets program) or
using the Stock Take Variance program (if you used the Stock Take Forms program).
