Tabletandroid.png Partial and Full Inventory Count

The Inventory Counting screen allows you to perform counting on the current location for any item in the Item List.

Partial Inventory Count

Saving/Applying Partial Counting Session on Mobile App
  1. In the mobile app, go to Main → Inventory → Inventory Counting
  2. You can either scan items, find them on the list, or search them by filtering (either using the Look for Name field or tapping the Filter button).
  3. Type in new quantities by tapping the item's name.
NOTE: You can assign new quantities to a specific bin location. To do so, after tapping the item's name, tap the "Tap here to add line" button at the bottom of the screen, then check the "Show All Bins" checkmark to show all available bins. Check the necessary bins to add them. Then type in the new quantity for each of the selected bins.
  1. Specify a reference number for a counting session in the Ref. No. field if it’s needed.


Info-sign.png If you have over 5000 items, this screen will not list all of them and will work as a lookup instead. In this case, using a barcode scanner is highly recommended, since finding items by filtering can take a long time.

Full Inventory Count

  2. Check the Full Inventory Count checkbox.

Info-sign.pngBy checking this, you confirm that all items in the list, except those that already have new quantity value, will have zero in the new quantity field. It facilitates a procedure when you are sure that all other items are absent and you have to include these results when counting. The system automatically sets all items' quantities that have no entry in the New Qty field to zero (0). After confirming this action, the Complete Inventory Counting text will change to red to indicate that full inventory counting is on. You can use the Clear button to restart counting. All previously saved results will be discarded. You can use the Back button to close the Inventory Counting window; if you decide not to save after clicking the Back button, then next time you open the Inventory Counting window the list will be populated with previously-saved values.
