> Count all eligible stock at one location in WMS Mobile, review the variances and submit the count for processing or approval.

Use Stocktake by Location for a standalone count of eligible stock at one location in WMS Mobile. This is separate from a cycle-count job for one product.

## Before you begin

You need `stocktake.count`, a working connection and access to the location. Pause stock movement through the counted area where practical. WMS Mobile does not keep an unfinished location-stocktake draft after you leave the workflow.

## Count and submit the location

1. Open **More > Stocktake by Location** in WMS Mobile.
2. Scan the location barcode, or search for and select a location when manual selection is available.
3. Enter the physical count for each product. You can scan products as you count and add an eligible unexpected product that you find at the location.
4. Review the changed products, expected quantities, counted quantities, and variances.
5. Select **Submit Stocktake**.

WMS queues the stocktake immediately if you also have `stocktake.approve`. Otherwise, it saves the submission as **Awaiting approval** for an authorised user to review in WMS web.

## Verify the result

If the submission awaits approval, ask an authorised reviewer to [review the stocktake in WMS web](/articles/14700000000084-review-and-approve-wms-stocktakes). Otherwise, follow its processing status. After completion, refresh Inventory and check the location quantities and recorded movements before starting another correction.
