Item

Use this field to manually key in item # or old item #s

Location

Use this drop-down to select a location. Inventorying an item will move it to this location.

Warn about Layaways

If checked, layaways will generate a warning when inventoried.

Warn About Location Changes

If checked, inputting an item to a location different than the one currently on file will result in a pop-up window asking you to confirm moving it to the new location.

Clear

Use this button to clear the form. It does NOT undo any inventory activity.

Close

Use this button to close the window. It does NOT undo any inventory activity nor does it finish or close the inventory.

Print List

Use this button to print either the middle or bottom lists.

The next section keeps a running log as you input items. Errors and warnings will also appear here.

The bottom two sections show items that were inventoried as well as those items that are still outstanding. By default, the outstanding items for the selected location will be shown. To see all items, check the Show All Inventory box. This may negatively affect performance based on the number of items in the inventory.

NOTE: You can view an item’s record by double clicking on it in the window. In addition to seeing its details, this can be useful if you accidentally inventory an item as you can use Supervisor > Remove Last Inventory Date to un-inventory it.
