A receive and recount feature exists in GroovePacker to make it faster to quickly update inventory counts and bin locations in GroovePacker.
The Receive/Recount feature can be found here by clicking on Products > Inventory > Receive or Recount Inventory:
Recounting:
GroovePacker can be used to record the counts made during a cycle count.
- First the quantity on hand is counted
- The barcode of the item is scanned in GroovePacker to assure the correct item is receiving the update
- Then the quantity is typed in.
When you press enter the quantity entered overwrites the existing count and GroovePacker is ready for the scan of the next item.
Be sure to select the Recount option when you begin the process:
Quantity on hand = Available + Allocated inventory. Items are allocated for all open orders in the system (those that are not Scanned or Cancelled). For this reason it's best to do the recount when there are no open orders that have inventory allocated.
If all items will be recounted you may want to set all counts to zero before you begin just to make it easier to see which items
have been counted and which have not, but this is optional. It can be done by clearing allocated orders, disabling inventory tracking from the general settings, waiting until the process completes, and then enabling inventory tracking.
Receiving:
The receiving process is similar to the recount process except that the count entered will be added to the QOH instead of overwriting the QOH. The receive inventory radio button will be selected.
It is not necessary to clear open orders before receiving inventory.
- First the quantity being received is counted
- The barcode of the item is scanned in GroovePacker to assure the correct item is receiving the update
- Then the quantity is typed in
Before entering the quantity you can also use the tab key to tab over to any of the 3 warehouse locations if they need to be modified.
