Wireless Warehouse - Bin Count

Wireless Warehouse bin count tasks are performed with a handheld device. When you perform a bin count task, the handheld appears, as follows:

Purpose

Cycle count all products stored in a bin.

Overview

Use the bin count task to perform a cycle count of a specific bin, so that you can confirm the inventory in the bin. This task is created in Create Cycle Count Tasks. You can enter the count information by scanning, or by manually typing it. For more information, see Wireless Warehouse Cycle Count Process Flow.

Performing the Task

To perform a bin count task:

At the Wireless Warehouse Handheld Menu, enter Get Next Task. The bin count screen appears, as shown above. The bin displays at the top of the handheld screen to direct you to go to a specific bin.
If the bin you are counting is not automatically entered in the Bin field, scan the bin, or enter it in the field.
Scan a product in the bin, or enter the product code, UPC, or GTIN in the SKU field. If you scan or enter a UPC that is associated with multiple product codes, a new handheld screen appears, which allows you to select the appropriate product code. If this screen appears, click a row in the grid to select a product.

Note If the bin is empty, select Tools $Images\bluerarw.gif$ No Product, and skip to step 9.

If the unit of measure is not automatically entered, enter the unit of measure for the product in the U/M field.
If the product you scanned or entered in step 3 is tracked by lot or serial number, scan the lot or serial number, or enter it in the Lot/Ser field.
If you are not required to scan each unit of the product, enter the quantity in the bin in the Qty field.
Repeat steps 2 to 6 for all products in the bin.
When you are finished counting all products, select Tools $Images\bluerarw.gif$ OK. The Cycle Count Summary screen appears, which allows you to compare the counted and expected quantities for each product.
Select Tools $Images\bluerarw.gif$ Next Count and Tools $Images\bluerarw.gif$ Previous Count to review the counts for each product. To recount, select Tools $Images\bluerarw.gif$ Recount. To clear the entire count and return to the main menu, select Tools $Images\bluerarw.gif$ Clear Count.
When you are satisfied with the count, select Tools $Images\bluerarw.gif$ OK. You have completed the task and the main menu appears.
