Scanning Process
Scan Item and Unit of Measure
-
Scan the Item No, then check that the UOM is correct. If not, close the popup and scan the item again, and the next UOM will come up.
-
When beginning to scan an item, the UOM that is expected to have quantity comes up first; then other UOMs are rotated each time you close the popup and scan the item again.
-
-
Scan the item's GTIN number. The GTIN barcode will directly indicate the UOM you are counting. Set up the GTIN number in Item Unit of Measure.
|
Scan Lots
-
If the item is not lot tracked, just enter the count quantity.
-
If the item is lot tracked, you must enter or select a lot number. You can click the Lookup button next to "Scan Lot #" to select from a list of available lots.
Scan Serials
-
If the item is serial tracked, you must enter or select a serial number. You can click the Lookup button next to "Scan Serial #" to select from a list of available serials.
Review Counts by Item
-
Double-click the item block to see the counted quantity by lots.
-
Click Reset to undo the counts for the item and start again.
Review the counted quantity by serials.
Reset, Preview, and Post
-
Click Actions → Reset All if you need to reset all items in the Bin and start over.
-
Click Actions → Post. You should post adjustments for the bin before you scan the next bin. The Post button only posts adjustments for the current bin.
-
You can preview the adjustments before they are posted. Adjustments will increase or decrease the bin quantities based on counts. If any item or lot in the bin was not counted, the system will adjust that item or lot in that bin to zero.
|
Example: If 1,000 boxes were counted for item #7000, lot #05292020, and the lot was expected to have a quantity of 10, the adjustment will increase the quantity by 990 (Count 1,000 - Expected 10 = 990). Since other items in the bin were not counted, GoldFinch will reduce their quantities to zero. |
-
Click Submit. A Cycle Count journal will be created and posted to update the inventory in GoldFinch.
