Recording par counts

Use this procedure to record par counts with the handheld terminal application.

Before you record par counts with the handheld application, you or your administrator must configure Par Counting and print par labels in the application. See Configuring par counting, Modifying My Par Forms, and Printing par labels for more information.

Note: When Item Lifecycle Management is enabled a blue alert button or icon will appear for items set to status of warning. Items set to warning will be allowed to be used in transaction. A red alert button or icon will appear for items set to status of hard error. Items set to hard error will not be allowed to be used in transactions. This is only available on Android.
