Note: The Physical Inventory and Initial Data Load options are only available when you are performing a physical inventory.
Scan the bin location. If the bin location is empty, scan the location and press Enter.
If the location is a pallet location, a list of pallets in the location overlays the Physical Inv. Selection screen. Use the arrow key to select a location.
If the pallet location is empty, select No to leave the screen.
The Physical Inventory Count screen is displayed in the Inventory Control-Initial Data Load screen. Press Enter to accept the case quantity and unit of measure defaults, or specify new values.
Select Yes to reset the case quantity for this location only.

For example, if the case quantity is 10 and you count 4 cases, specify 4 in the Qty in Loc field. For example, the case quantity is 10 and you count 4 cases and 3 units. Change the case quantity to 1 and specify 43 in the Qty in Loc field.
Specify the quantity in the location. If you recount a location, the last quantity entered overrides the previously entered quantity. Verify a quantity by specifying the same value again to confirm the quantity.
For the message: Count More?, select Yes to count more of the product in the location. Then repeat steps as necessary until your counting is finished.
If you are finished counting the location, press Enter.
Indicate whether to print labels. If you are printing labels, the Num. of Labels field is accessible. Indicate the number of labels to print.

Each product in your warehouse should be labeled to facilitate material handling. The label prints at the defined label printer. You can choose a different label printer.
Indicate whether to set up this bin as a primary location for the product.

Generally, primary locations are already established, so you can focus your attention on accurately counting inventory.
If the location contains additional products, then repeat the steps as necessary to add the products to the location. If you are finished counting inventory, press F4 to return to the Inventory Control Main Menu.

Note: The last few steps may be affected by the settings for these parameters: 3609, Physical - Skip ‘By’, 3610, Physical - Skip ‘Labels?’, and 3611, Physical - Skip ‘Set PP?’.
