The Count application is used to perform inventory counts. The application acts as an interface for the Advanced Inventory Count product and is an optional purchase. If you have not purchased the product, you may use the Basic Count application.

Core features of this application include:

• Manual Counting
• Cycle Counting
• Multiple Count Sheets/Teams

You can access the Advanced Inventory Count application from the Home screen by clicking the Count link.  When launched, the Count Lookup List page will be displayed.

The Lookup List page allows you to either scan or select the sheet you wish to view. Only active Count Sheets for the device location are shown. Use the filter bar to filter the lookup list to specific sheets if required.

When you select a Count Sheet to open, a screen similar to this is shown:

The standard process flow should be used when counting items:

1. Scan the bin to count in.
2. Scan the item to count.
3. Enter the quantity counted and item tracking information, if required.

See the General Document Handling section on the Overview page for more information.

If the sheet already contains the counted item, the line will be updated. If the entry does not already exist, a new line will be added to the sheet instead. If the line already exists but the user chooses a different unit of measure, they are prompted whether a new line should be created or the existing one update.

If your location does not require bins you may also scan shelf numbers via the tag barcode.

The Scan Behaviors page can be configured to control aspects of this process. For example, you can configure a quantity dialog to not appear and increment the count by one, or change the default quantity or unit of measure to count in.

The following menus are available by default for Advanced Inventory Count. Menus may be added or removed as required from the Device Menus page under the Application form with a selection of ADVCOUNT_DOC for the Application.

By default, the Count application will attempt to match on existing lines and update them. If it is easier or better that each subsequent scan creates new lines, it set the Inventory Scan Item Behavior to Always Add New Line on the Device Configuration card.

By default, the Count application will not clear the current bin between scans. You can scan multiple items in the same bin without having to rescan the bin. Users must scan the new bin when moving to the next bin to count. The current bin can be cleared after each item scan by setting the Clear Bin on Inventory Count option to true on the Device Configuration card.
