# Counts

Count your stock with a stocktake or a cycle count, and correct your stock levels to match what's on the shelves.

A stock level (the quantity of one product in one location) is only as good as your last count. The **Counts** menu in OrderEazi has two ways to count: a stocktake and a cycle count. Both are blind (counters don't see the expected quantities), and both correct your stock levels when they're finalised.

### Before you start

Each kind of count has its own permissions, one to count and one to manage. See [Warehouse roles](/central/warehouse-management/warehouse-roles.md).

### Which count to use

**Stocktake:** Count the bins you choose in one warehouse, such as at year end. While counting is in progress, the warehouse can't receive stock, pick, or edit stock levels. See [Stocktake](/central/warehouse-management/counts/stocktake.md).

**Cycle Counts:** Count one product in all its bins, or everything in one bin, while the warehouse keeps working. Use them to check problem products often. See [Cycle Counts](/central/warehouse-management/counts/cycle-counts.md).
