Important Changes (January 2024)

This screen has a new location and name. We moved it from the Shipping module to the Inventory module and renamed it to Inventory Count. However, the functionality is still the same.

Start an Inventory Count

To run physical inventory counts for boxes or units when needed, do the following instructions:

  1. Go to Inventory and select Inventory Count.

  2. Select the inventory from the links at the top of the page. There are two options:

    1. Inventory in Boxes. When counting boxes, you can enter the specific rack letters if you want to reset the inventory for certain positions or leave the field empty to reset the whole inventory.

    2. Inventory in Units.

  3. Click on the Start Inventory Count green button.Optional: Enter

  4. the specific rack letters if you want to reset the inventory for certain positions, or leave the field empty to reset the whole inventorySelect option 3 - Inventory Count on the scan gun and begin scanning. Every product you scan will be updated in the Physical Inventory column.

  5. Once you finish scanning, export a discrepancy report to verify the inventory.

Things to consider when doing an inventory count:

  • You can only do this process once per day. You can only edit the count for 24 hours; after this time, you must start a new count.

  • When you start an inventory count in boxes or units, the “Physical Inventory column” mark is removed from the products in both inventories.

  • If you make a mistake and you want to make a mass reset, click on the actions button, and select reset count. This action works with the applied search filters, or you can do it by line.

  • When you start an inventory count in units, the system will make a snapshot of the existing inventory used to populate the screen. This snapshot will consider products with a future invoice date that have not been marked with Picked and/or Shipped status.

  • If you scan a box marked as open in the system but physically closed, the system will prompt you to open the box, add the products to the units section in your warehouse, and update the product’s status in the system, adding it to the unit inventory count.

Info

Resetting Inventory

You can also use this process to reset your inventory. To reset specific racks, enter the letters corresponding to those racks, separating them with either a space or the Enter key. Do not enter any numbers in the Rack Position field. To reset the entire inventory, leave the Rack Position field empty and click Yes.

Note: Clearing box positions

is

are available but not advised for inventories over 1,000 items. It's best for condensed warehouses with box movement during counts. Once cleared, scan all boxes, including sold ones for current or future dates.

Tip

Shortcut for scanning multiple units:

When scanning units from the same lot #, you can use the scanner shortcut X (Option H and then x).

This will take the information from the first product and ask you to input the number of products with the same lot # instead of scanning each bunch individually.

It is important not to put the same products from different growers in the same line when using this shortcut. Only use this shortcut for products coming from the same grower.
