Grain Inventory Audit Checklist (30-Point System) Printable PDF

Where does inventory actually start to drift?

It’s usually not one big issue.

It’s:

• Transfers that never got logged
• Tickets entered late
• Shrink applied differently depending on who’s working
• Loads sitting “in limbo”

And over time… the numbers stop making sense.

This checklist shows you exactly where that’s happening.

The Inventory Audit Checklist (30-Point System) is built to walk through your operation step-by-step and highlight where inventory errors are coming from.

No software required.
No complicated setup.
Just a clear system you can run immediately.

What This Covers

✔ Receiving accuracy (are loads logged correctly?)
✔ Bin storage tracking (are bushels where they should be?)
✔ Transfer logging (the #1 failure point in most operations)
✔ Loadout verification (what’s actually leaving?)
✔ System-wide integrity checks

What You’ll Get

• Printable 30-point audit checklist
• Fillable tables for tracking issues
• Breakdown worksheet to identify root causes
• Real-world example of inventory correction
• Simple grain shrink explanation (no guesswork)

How It’s Used

Most operations run this:

• Weekly (recommended)
• During problem investigations
• When numbers stop lining up

Print it. Run it. Fix what shows up.

Who This Is For

• Grain elevators
• Co-ops
• Seed sheds
• Warehouse operations
• Location managers & scale operators

What Happens After You Use It?

You’ll start seeing:

• Where errors actually occur

From there, fixing inventory becomes a process — not a guessing game.

Simple Truth
