# Inventory value: booked vs. stock

Reconcile the booked inventory value with the stock's own value — and find the days and vouchers where they diverged.

The **Lagerværdi: bogført vs. lager** (Inventory value: booked vs. stock) tab compares the inventory value on the stock accounts in the ledger with the inventory value the stock itself calculates. The page is a tool for finding errors in the setup, e.g. categories, items or accounts that are set up incorrectly.

## What the page shows

-   Cards with **Bogført lagerværdi** (booked inventory value), **Lagerværdi (lager)** (inventory value, stock) and **Difference**.
    
-   The difference split by **Årsag** (cause).
    
-   The daily change in the gap — a spike is a day when stock and bookkeeping diverged.
    
-   A table of the latest days when stock and bookkeeping diverged, with the causes.
    
-   A table of reconciliation groups with a difference: date, accounts, ledger voucher, stock voucher, booked, stock, difference, **Status**, **Spor** (lead), **Årsag** and **Detalje** (detail).
    

## How to use it

-   Choose **Regnskab** (accounts) if you have several.
    
-   Start with the largest bars in the cause chart. **Ingen kendt årsag** (no known cause) is the part the page cannot explain.
    
-   Find the day with a spike, and find the reconciliation groups in the table at the bottom.
    
-   Read **Spor**, **Årsag** and **Detalje** — e.g. a stock account outside the inventory group, a service item on a stock account, a category that does not create cost of goods sold, or a till voucher that has not been closed yet.
    
-   Correct the setup in Sapera, and look up the vouchers in Shop Manager by their voucher numbers.
    

## Good to know

-   A **reconciliation group** is the stock and ledger vouchers that belong together, counted as one unit.
    
-   **Difference** = booked minus stock. **Status** is **Afstemt** (reconciled), **Ikke afstemt** (not reconciled), **Mangler finans-bilag** (ledger voucher missing) or **Ingen lager-bilag** (no stock voucher).
    
-   **Spor** points to what to look up when the difference matches exactly one voucher or one stock entry.
    
-   You are responsible for the setup — contact support if you need help finding the cause.
    
-   If you do not use the page, support can hide it for you — contact support.
