Tag the last count of your accounting period as period-end, then export it for your books.
Steps
- 1On the web, go to Inventory > Overview and open your last count of the month.
- 2Choose Tag as period-end next to the count's date.
- 3Choose Export CSV at the top right to download the count.
Tip: Want the month's purchases in first? receive its deliveries before you tag the count. See Receive a delivery.
Tip: Count split across people or sheets? you can merge it into one count before you tag it. See Fix a submitted count.
What happens next
The count shows a period-end tag (like "Oct 2026 end") in the counts list.
Why it matters
COGS for a month = opening count + purchases − closing count. The tag tells Kintow which count is the last one of the month.
Common questions
Can I close the month with my nearest weekly count?+−
Yes. The days between your weekly count and month-end land in the neighboring month, so one month looks a little high and the other a little low. It evens out over the two.
How do I get ending − starting inventory value by GL for month-end?+−
Tag each month-end count as period-end and export it with Export CSV. A journal entry by GL code isn't self-serve yet, so contact support.
