   • Name

   • Comment (optional)

   • Starts: Starting date for the inventory

   • From: Starting time for the inventory

     

3. (Optional) You can select that inventory will be done for only certain products or categories for the inventory:

   1. Click the drop-down menu in the Products section and select from the options:

      • Single product: Enter a search term for the product into the Search… field.

      • Category on Stock Item: Select the stock item categories to be added to the inventory.

      • All on Stock: Add to the inventory list all the products (SKUs) found in the selected Stock (the same list as in Stock Insight).

      • All on Catalog: Current functionality (get all products with an SKU from Catalog).

      • All Stock Items: Add to the inventory list all the products (GKUs) found in the Company's Stock Item list.

        

   2. Select a product or category by clicking the checkbox on its row.

      

   3. The product or category has now been selected for the inventory.

      

4. When you have entered all the required information for the inventory, start the inventory by clicking Start Inventory. The inventory can now be seen in Pending state in Stock.

   

5. (Optional) If you selected certain products or categories for inventory in Step 3, you can print out a checklist of inventory items to facilitate the inventory. To do this, click the Print icon in the inventory’s details.

   

   

6. Enter the inventoried product quantities in the Inventory column.

   

   • Typically certain products may have both Base Unit and Net Content defined; for example, a wine bottle may have pcs/btl as its base unit and 75 cl as its net content. It is possible to use either one in inventory.

     • For example: If there are 4 whole bottles (= pieces) and one opened bottle which is not full, this can be input to inventory as 4 btl, 25 cl rather than 4.33 btl.

       

7. When the inventory is ready, click Finish Inventory and confirm this by clicking Finish. The stock balances of products are updated, and the inventory status is updated to Done.

   • When making an inventory where every row is not filled, you can fill all unfilled rows with 0 quantity.

8. You can download the inventory report in Excel format by clicking the Report icon on the row of the inventory.
   

   

As an alternative for searching products manually, you may also use the global barcode scanner to read barcodes in this view. To do this, simply read a barcode with your physical scanner while this view is open. If the scanned product has already been added to the inventory, it is not re-added, but highlighted instead.
