Partial and Full Inventory Count

In HandiFox you can perform inventory counting choosing items you need.

  1. On the app, go to Main → Inventory → Inventory Counting
  2. Count items by scanning, finding them on the list and typing in new quantities, or combining these two methods.
  3. Specify a reference number for a counting session in the Ref. No. field if it’s needed.
  * 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.
  1. In QuickBooks go to File → HF → Counting Sessions to continue working with new Counting Sessions.
  2. Check any session you need to work with.
  3. Click on Apply button to activate the counts and add them to the system.

In HandiFox you can perform full inventory count to mak all the items equal to zero, unless you enter a new count for it.

  1. Go to Main → Inventory → Inventory Counting on your device.
  2. Check Full Inventory Count checkbox.

Saving and Applying an Inventory Counting Session

In HandiFox you can save inventory counting session to continue later.

  1. On the app, go to Main → Inventory → Inventory Counting on your device.
  2. Count items by scanning, finding them on the list and typing in new quantities, or combining these two methods.
  3. Click on Save to save your counting session in order to leave it and continue later.


In HandiFox you can save copy of counting session as a report on your desktop.

  1. On the app, go to Main→Inventory→ Inventory Counting.
  2. Choose any session from the list you need to print.
  3. Choose the number of copies you need in Copy Number box.
  4. Click on Print.

In HandiFox you need to perform manager approval to send counting session from yor app on desktop.

  1. On the app, go to Main → Inventory → Inventory Counting on your device.
  2. Count items by scanning, finding them on the list and typing in new quantities, or combining these two methods (scanning an item once to find it and then editing the new quantity).
  3. Click on Apply to finalize and submit your counting session.
  4. Sync your device. After that, it will be sent for manager approval (see Partial and Full Inventory Count section).
	After a counting session has been applied, a new one cannot be started right away. The existing counting session has to be approved/refused by a manager in the desktop app, and the mobile app has to learn about this status change through synchronizing before a new counting session can be started.
