# verifyInventoryItem

query · in the family [Reading your records](/reference/reading-your-records/)

## What it does

Reconcile one item’s ledger against its cached balances — “do the books add up?”.

The two-way reconciliation read: recompute the bucket balances from the ACTIVE Stock-Card entries and compare against the II cached balances — the bounded per-II verify (the standing auditor is the catalogued escalation). Since ALSO reconciles the StockRecord shards against the relocate entries and reports the binned/un-binned split. Requires authentication; reads null on a cross-tenant/missing id.

## What happens

Reads and compares two ways; answers consistent or names the difference. Changes nothing.
