The Count Tag is the physical document on which staff can
record the actual inventory quantity from a stock count.
The tag is a unique sequential number for the sales or rental
product per location or bin number.
This utility uses Count Tags as an alternative to capture the
inventory quantities counted at year-end inventory, to populate the
Update Inventory Worksheet, using the
Update Worksheet with Count Tags
utility.
Process Flow for utilizing Count Tags:
- Generate inventory count sheets from the Inventory Count Console
- Generate count tags using Generate Count
Tags which will read all the products in the worksheet and
print a tag for each product number.
There is also an option to generate blank count tags which
can be used for any product # on the inventory count sheets (most
likely for those on page zero which do not have a current quantity
at that location).
- Print count tags from Print Count Tags
and distribute these to the individual "counters" who will be
performing the counts.
- "Counters" will write the actual count values on the printouts
and submit them to be inputted into Texada SRM.
- Count tags are then recorded into SRM using Count Tag
Entry, which in turn will update the worksheet quantities from
Update Worksheet with Count Tags.
The prompts to initiate the Count Tag information entry
include:
-
- OPERATOR
- The operator defaults to the operator currently signed in, but
can be over-typed or re-selected from the drop-down list if
required.
The operator code will be noted on the expanded record for each
Count Tag.
- PASSWORD
- Enter the password for the selected operator.
This is mandatory to verify access.
LOCATION
- The default location for the operator is displayed, and can
only be modified if the operator has access to other locations as
defined in Operators.
Only divisions flagged as inventory locations in Divisions can be selected.
Note: Locations that do not have an existing Inventory Worksheet
that uses Count Tags to report inventory quantities can not be
selected.
