Physical Count

This screen is where you perform the actual Count.

Information about the Material you are supposed to Count is displayed, with open fields in which you enter the Count, the number of the Packages of the specified Material present on this License Plate. Be sure to check the Lot and Vendor Lot.

Tapping Confirm: F1 or pressing the F1 key confirms the Count entered, and completes the Count Task. If the Count entered does not match the Count in the system, you will be notified. You can perform a Recount, or submit the entered Count. All discrepancies must be resolved on the Count Tasks tab of the Physical Count section.

Tapping Menu: F3 or pressing the F3 key displays a menu with this additional option:

Inquiry: F11 opens the Inquiry Menu.

Tapping Back: F2 or pressing the F2 key takes you back to the Count Tasks Search screen.

Full Count

Sometimes, you will have a need to perform a physical count on a whim, without first creating a formal Count in the Desktop Application. The F7 key opens the Full Count Full Count screen, where you will be asked for a location and the details for the material(s) in that location. Any discrepancies versus what is expected will produce a warning, allowing you to capture possible inventory errors on the fly.

Similar to a Blind Count, the expected fields will initially be blank, expecting you to enter or scan the inventory to be counted. Each Serial Number should be scanned or entered in the Serial field to add the Serial Number to the list. Serial Numbers can be removed from the Count by selecting it in the Serial Number List, and tapping the - button.

Tapping Confirm: F1 or pressing the F1 key confirms the Quantity entered, and completes the Count Task. If the Quantity entered does not match the Quantity in the system, you will be notified. All discrepancies must be resolved on the Count Tasks tab of the Physical Count section.
