In the dynamic world of supply chain management, accurate and efficient inventory management is the cornerstone of success. As a supply chain professional, you understand the critical role inventory plays in optimizing operations, minimizing costs, and meeting customer demands. However, traditional manual inventory counting methods can be time-consuming, error-prone, and hinder productivity.

Users have the ability to filter items using various fields in the filters section.

  • ITEM: Select a specific item to filter the results.
  • LOCATION: Choose a location to filter the results based on location.
  • BIN: Select a bin to filter results according to the bin.
  • DATE: Enter a date value to retrieve results based on the specified date.
  • MINIMUM NUMBER OF SCAN COUNTS: Specify the minimum number of scan counts required to identify the scan counts that meet this criterion.

The records that meet the filtering criteria will be displayed in black color. On the other hand, records that do not meet the criteria will be shown in red color, and the select checkbox will be disabled, preventing the user from approving or recounting the scanned record.

To further refine the results, the following filters can be applied:

  • APPROVE/RECOUNT FLAG: This filter allows users to view results for approved and recounted records.
  • RECORDS TO DISPLAY: Select an option to display specific types of records.
  • SHOW ALL COUNTS: This option shows records for both unique and variance counts.
  • SHOW ONLY UNIQUE COUNTS: This option displays only records for unique counts.
  • SHOW ONLY VARIANCE COUNTS: This option filters and displays records for variance counts only.

In the actions section, users can choose an action to approve or recount the selected records from the list. Approved records will be visible in the Inventory Count screen, while recounted items will be deactivated and require a recount of the inventory.

Once the appropriate records have been selected from the list, choose the desired value for approval or rejection in the APPROVE/REJECT field and click the process button.
