Creating a Count List in Backoffice

This module has also the choice to support counting items from a previous count list created before in Back Office.

First at 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

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.

Modify counted quantity

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