Training Use Only.
Inventory verification confirms that system inventory records accurately
reflect physical stock. Warehouse performs counts and reconciliation.
Quality reviews and approves outcomes where required. Inventory verification
does not replace routine inventory control or material status management.
Scenario 1 — Purpose of Inventory Verification
What an Auditor May Ask
“Why do you perform inventory verification?”
What We Are Demonstrating
Inventory verification as a confirmatory control
Accuracy of system records
Expected Response (Training Guidance)
Inventory verification is performed to confirm that system inventory
records accurately reflect physical stock. This supports traceability,
material control, and confidence in downstream use and distribution.
Evidence Typically Shown
Completed inventory verification record
System inventory snapshot
Scenario 2 — Physical and Cycle Counts
What an Auditor May Ask
“How do you verify inventory accuracy?”
What We Are Demonstrating
Controlled counting activities
Comparison of physical and system quantities
Expected Response (Training Guidance)
Inventory accuracy is verified through physical or cycle counts.
Count results are compared to system quantities, and any differences
are documented and reconciled.
Evidence Typically Shown
Count sheets or system-generated count records
Reconciliation results
Scenario 3 — FIFO / FEFO Verification
What an Auditor May Ask
“How do you ensure FIFO or FEFO is followed?”
What We Are Demonstrating
Inventory rotation verification
Alignment between physical stock and system logic
Expected Response (Training Guidance)
During inventory verification, material lots are reviewed to confirm
alignment with FIFO or FEFO expectations where applicable.
Any misalignment is documented and addressed.
Evidence Typically Shown
Inventory report sorted by lot or expiration date
Verification notation on inventory record
Scenario 4 — Handling Inventory Discrepancies
What an Auditor May Ask
“What happens if you find an inventory discrepancy?”
What We Are Demonstrating
Controlled discrepancy handling
Escalation and approval
Expected Response (Training Guidance)
Inventory discrepancies are documented and investigated.
Adjustments are made only with appropriate authorization,
and Quality is involved when required to assess impact.
Evidence Typically Shown
Discrepancy documentation
Approved inventory adjustment record
Scenario 5 — Inventory Verification Approval
What an Auditor May Ask
“Who approves inventory verification results?”
What We Are Demonstrating
Authorization of verification outcomes
Separation of execution and approval
Expected Response (Training Guidance)
Inventory verification results are reviewed and approved according
to defined authority. Warehouse performs the counts; approvals are
documented, and Quality reviews outcomes when required.
