Physical Count
- Additional Bin Display
-
This value determines how the long forms print when count sheets are printed in Product Entry Physical Count Report if products have additional bin locations set up. Choose Bin Loc to print in bin location order; choose Primary to print by primary location.
Note: Warehouse Manager and unavailable locations do not change their order (by bin location) because they carry a quantity value themselves. - Auto Prompt Entry
-
After inventory has been counted, the count is entered through Product Count Entry. Each time physical count sheets or tickets are run, they are assigned a run number. Entries made through Product Count Entry are entered by run number. If you want each line to automatically appear, select this option, and the operator is only required to enter the count. If you want warehouse personnel to specify each sequence or ticket number and then specify the count, clear this option.
Note: If you select this option, the cursor moves to the Qty Counted field as long as the first entry in the run has not been entered. If it has, navigate to the first sequence number on the run that has not been entered and manually type the sequence number. If the next sequence number in the run has not been entered previously, the cursor remains in the Qty Counted field when the next line appears. When all sequences on the run are entered, you are returned to the Sequence Number field. - Print Count Sheets
