Lab Compliance and Inventory
Month-end inventory review is a controlled comparison between records, physical stock, and unresolved exceptions. It should have a cutoff and a named reviewer.
Record the date, time, location, systems included, and transactions that remain in flight. Freeze or account for movement according to the operator’s procedure. List the source reports used so the review can be repeated.
Use the month-end admin checklist for the overall close. The cycle count checklist provides a method for testing selected items.
Group differences into count error, timing, receiving, transfer, return, quarantine, adjustment, or unresolved. Use evidence from the source systems and preserve original values. Do not convert an unexplained difference into an assumed cause.
The reviewer should approve only after open exceptions have owners, next actions, and dates. Carry unresolved items into the next period instead of hiding them in a new total.
The NIST measurement resources are an authoritative reference for measurement concepts; apply the licensed operator’s requirements.
Follow the operator’s risk-based procedure and applicable rules; document the selected method.
Carry them forward with evidence and a responsible owner.
