Creating a Count List in Backoffice
Counting items from a previously count list created in Back Office is another choice that this module supports.
Let's see how is the process:
First of all create a Physical Inventory
Then we can create a count list using one of the standard ways:
1. Using the Create Inventory count list button
2. Adding new lines with the products to count
Loading a Count List

To do so, the second button should be clicked, the one selected in the below picture.
A popup will apear let the user filter and selecting an inventory to load. After selecting the inventory all the lines to be counted will be shown in the list.
Creating new Physical Inventory
Also known as "on the fly" inventory.
Using the new (*) button, the user can create a new document, allowing to set a name, chossing the warehouse and the storage bin.
After that, the products cab ne scanned to be included in the inventory.
By default, the system will autmatically the name with today's date. User can modify the name of the inventory, select a warehouse and a storage bin, select an atribute and select a reason for the new inventory created.
User actions
The user can change the document properties using the bluse section in the left panel.
Inventory Name
By default the name of the inventory is set to the current date, but it can be modified clicking into the button and setting the new value.
Setting current Warehouse and Storage Bin
When a new document is created, the warehouse will be set with the same value as the one that has the user session. To change either the warehouse or bin, the user must click the button. After that a popup will appear, letting the user choose the new value.
Scaning
The module supports scanning bin barcodes and products. When a product is read, a new line is created or the quantity counted is increased if a line exits with the same product/bin.

A product can be selected in order to modify the counted quantity manually.
