Stocktake with Fred Mobility

Motorola

Due to increasing security risks, we have ended remote access support for the legacy Motorola and Datalogic Windows-based mobility guns. The old mobility devices can no longer be guaranteed to function reliably or securely in today’s environment.

We can provide self-help documentation and phone support only. While we’ll continue to assist where possible, we strongly recommend upgrading to a newer mobility device. Contact your local Fred representative or sales@fred.com.au if you’d like to discuss upgrading to a new device.

The Stocktaking option on your Fred Mobility device allows you to perform a stocktake using three methods: (a) Scan and Count; (b) Rolling Stocktake; (c) Batch Stocktake.

The Scan and Count feature allows you to perform an ad-hoc stocktake.

  2. In the main Fred Mobility screen, tap Stocktake.
  3. Tap Options.

  5. Tap Save.
  6. Tap Scan.
  7. In the next screen, scan the item or enter the code of the item to scan.
  8. Enter the Stock Count and then press Enter on your Fred Mobility device.

    Based on the option selected above (Update or Append), the value for the existing item quantity is updated or overwritten

  9. Repeat the process for all items to be updated.
  10. Once completed, logout of Fred Mobility and return your device to the charger.

The Rolling Stocktake feature will prompt you to stocktake various items in your store. It commences with these items which have never been counted, then moves to items with the oldest, last counted dates. This option ensures all items are regularly updated.

  2. In the next screen, tap Stocktake.
  3. In the next screen, tap Options.

    • To complete the Rolling stocktake, tap Cancel.

The Batch stocktake option is recommended if you want to perform Stocktake Reporting. It provides the most detailed analysis and reporting in Fred Office Plus.
