Physical Stock vs Financial Stock
Why counting boxes on shelves does not equal a balanced financial ledger.
The Illusion of Quantity
Many mobile shop owners perform stock-takes by simply counting the number of physical boxes on their shelves. "We have 10 pieces of iPhone 14 Pro Max, so our inventory value is correct."
This is a dangerous illusion. Physical stock does not account for **defective quarantine holdback, customer-owned repair deposits, supplier replacement claims, or un-posted custom duties/landed cost allocations**. What sits physically on your shelf is merely a physical state; your actual asset value is dictated strictly by your **financial stock ledger**.
