# Adding a New Stock Item

##### Adding New Items During a Stock Take or Coun

During a stock take or inventory count, you may come across items that aren’t yet listed in your system. The **Barcode Count App** makes it easy to add these new items on the spot, ensuring your records stay accurate and up to date. This section will guide you through the steps to add a new item directly within the app, whether you're mid count or reviewing stock.

In the app navigate to the Products tab.
