COUNTING

Scan and Count

  1. From the Dashboard, tap Counting, then Scan & Count.

    When counting a product line that has already been counted (for example, products located in multiple places in the store) , the new counted quantity will override the previously counted quantity.

  2. Scan the product barcode (or enter the product Id or Reorder Number), then enter the quantity in the Stock Count field.

    The Stock Count field allows a maximum of 7 characters.

    You must always enter a value in the Stock Count field, even if the newly counted Qty is strictly identical to the SOH value.

    If you leave the Stock Count value blank, then press [Enter] in order to move on, the SOH is updated to 0.

  3. Tap Save to save your count and scan the next product.

    Fred NXT Mobility creates a new counting journal for each scanned line.

Batch Stocktake

This method is used to add a product count to a counting journal created in Fred NXT Office. This is the preferred method for large scale stocktakes (end of financial year, change of ownership). Batches can be created to reflect specific store organisation, such as department, suppliers, shelf by shelf, etc ... It should be performed outside of trading hours to ensure there is no stock movement while counting.

    Batch Stocktake displays all the un-posted counting journals present in Fred NXT Office.

  2. Tap one line items to display more Details about a journal.

    If a product is counted multiple times (for example, when additional quantities are found in another location), the new quantity is appended to the previous count.

    An audible tone is played each time the Append function is invoked.

  3. Tap one of the following options:

Correct a counted Qty

Use the Keypad and enter a negative number that will be subtracted from the Stock Count (-2).
