The Inventory Count Entry Menu offers users the ability to update asset inventory information when a count is done. The user has the choice of manually updating the inventory count sheets or automatically updating count results provided by a hand-held bar code reader.
Manual Count Entry
The Manual Count Entry module provides you with a method of entering the information from the count sheets into the system.
Location

Enter the location displayed at the top of the count sheet to be entered.
Sub Location 1

Enter the first sub-location displayed at the top of the count sheet to be entered.
A list containing all of the information displayed on the count sheet will display. By default, all of the actual values will be assigned to the balance on hand for the system. Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrows to scroll through the items listed. The actual quantity should only be updated in the case where there is a difference between the quantity written on the count sheet and the quantity displayed on the screen.
Press Finished Entry and Accept to save the physical count entries.
