TIME-BASED PHYSICAL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. Software for managing physical inventory, the software comprising computer readable instructions embodied on media and operable when executed to:
- identify a first timestamp associated with a first action involving physical inventory;
identify a second timestamp associated with a second action involving the physical inventory; and
dynamically calculate book stock that reflects the physical inventory given the first and second action.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to software for performing and managing physical inventory processing. The physical inventory processing may be performed by a software application. The software can be operable to analyze timestamp data associated with a physical count of the inventory and timestamps associated with a movement of goods in the physical inventory. The timestamp may include a date and a time to an appropriate level of granularity as to quickly or easily distinguish between goods movement or to appropriately process or ignore such movement in calculating book stock. The analysis can dynamically calculate book stock that reflects the physical inventory by comparing timestamp data over a particular time period. This physical count can be performed utilizing a scanning device that automatically associates an initial timestamp for an inventory item.
