# Create a stocktaking type for full count

Last modified February 23, 2026

> With Visma Net, you can organise stocktaking counts by cycles, ABC codes, movement classes, item classes, or stock items; you can even perform counts for randomly selected items.


Nevertheless, you should occasionally undertake full stock counts to maintain correct book quantities.

1. Go to the [Stocktaking types (IN208900)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/inventory/inventory-windows/stocktaking-types-in208900/index.md) window.
1. Click ![icon-add](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-add.png).
1. In the **Type ID** field, type a unique identifier for a new stocktaking type.
1. In the **Description** field, type a brief description indicating that this is the full count.
1. In the **Generation method** field, select **Full stocktaking**.
1. Optional: On the **Warehouse/location selection** tab, specify the warehouse where the full count should be performed. Do this only if full counts will be performed only in this warehouse.
1. On the **Assignment order** tab, specify the assignment order to be used on the count sheets by selecting one of the following options in each of the fields: **By location**, **By item ID**, **By item description**, or **By lot/serial number**. (Some of the options appear only if the appropriate functionalities are enabled in your system.)
1. Optional: Specify how many blank lines to add to the count sheets.
1. Click ![icon-save](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-save.png).
