Dashboard
The dashboard page currently shows the first five stock locations and unsaved stock counts.
The top menu bar remains fixed in the top across all pages.
Stock Locations
Click on the [Stock Location], you wish to enter a count for. After navigating to a stock location, you can access stock takes for that location that are open or in progress.
To make the stock take available offline, click The “refresh” link in the details overview, as shown under Offline Data. This is used when counting in a location without Wi-Fi.
By default, the stock takes list is sorted descending by date created.
Stock Counts
Click on the [Stock Take] you want to enter/update, and you will be able to see the following:
the period
status
blind/partial settings
After navigating into a stock take, you can open barcode webcam scanning with the camera symbol. The subtitle on this page indicates the location and period.
Scanning and Counting
After clicking the [Camera Icon], the camera or IR scanner will activate. Hover your device over the product's barcode, you wish to count. The system will read the barcode and display the related product. Check if this is correct, enter the count and click save.
Then continue to scan and count the rest of the items in your location.
Stock Location Background Colour
In Purchase Plus, when a current stock take is ready to be closed or is closed, then the stock location colour is white, when a current stock take in not able to be closed, then the stock location background colour is red, this display pattern is the same with the one in Purchase Plus.
