My inventory increased 10 fold this year and sometimes things get mixed up- Then I dont have some items in stock when ordered.
I am slowly adapting to a new system and doing weekly inventory checks so my number should improve.
Why risk a weekly check?
Check every 3 days until everything is running smoothly.
Reason I'm saying that is should an item not be there a couple of hours after an inventory check, then it's 7 days until your next check. that's 7 days of potential harm to an already flagged account.
Not disagreeing with having a method but would suggest running things 'tighter' for a month or so.

As GreenBean said, use an excel spread sheet. Just use a simple name and stock count. Print extra copies of each invoice, or write down each order right before you take it to the post office or as you put it in the "pickup by mailman" area (or however you organize your orders). Then just go through each order that night, find the item and reduce your inventory by 1 . Maybe an extra 15-20 mins of work, then you can sort by inventory amount. If you are low on something, just remove it from one of your selling mediums until you restock

I had an account suspended due to to many cancellations. I got it reinstated after 2 weeks writing to amazon about how I was going to change my business plan as I told them I would not drop ship anymore.
Yeah, it was a HUGE hassle drop shipping with over 400 items. I simply eliminated most and just drop shipped the more popular items.
If I cancel an order because a buyer wants to be shipped to an address I can't ship (outside US, PO Box, mail forwarding), will it count as a Pre-fulfillment Cancel?
