View source for GX:Adjust Inventory

==Adjust Quantity (Inventory)==
The first option in the Inventory Menu is the Adjust Inventory function.  It is used to update pallet data such as quantity, reason codes and comment codes.  Altering a pallet’s information can necessitate the need for a new pallet print tag should it have a display of the data that is being changed.  This screen gives the option to print a new tag upon making the change.


NOTE!!:  ‘Adjust Quantity’ is only used to enter miscellaneous adjustments to your ERP system.  If the quantity is incorrect because of an error when reporting production, correct the error in the Production Reporting screen (see Production Menu).

====To perform adjust quantity transactions====
Select “Adj Qty” from the Inventory Menu.
Scan or enter the container tracking number.  You may also use the Ctrl-A to begin an inventory-query based on the Find Inventory window to find a particular pallet.




The system displays the item/pack number, description, lot and quantity associated with the tracking number.  The quantity is displayed in the standard units of measure (uom) for the item.  More than one item may be associated with the tracking number.  Press the ‘z’ and ‘a’ keys to view the other items associated with the tracking number.
Enter the Bin # where the container pallet is located.
Enter the new quantity (in standard uom’s) in the new quantity field.  

Quantities may also be entered in terms of the number of cases in a container.  

Use the ‘A’ and ‘Z’ keys to toggle between different UOMs.  Note that you can only do this if the item in question can be represented in terms of several UOMs.  Make sure that the UOM field displays “CS”.   This lets the program know that you are entering quantities in units of Cases.  This allows the user to use the “Layers” and “Boxes” fields to enter the quantity as well.

Enter the number of layers and the number of boxes per layer in a container.  A new quantity is automatically calculated from the Layers and Boxes data.



All ‘Adjust Inventory’ transactions require the user to state the reason for their transaction.  A list of valid reason codes is provided to aid you in selecting the proper reason.
Enter the reason in the “Reason” field.  Select a reason by pressing <Ctrl> and <A> either sequentially or simultaneously.  The reason field may display possible reason codes in a drop-down menu depending on your version.

A list of valid reasons will appear:  

Use the arrow or tab keys to highlight the proper reason code and press “Enter”.  
You may enter a comment in the Comment field to accompany this container.
There may be a Print box and Copies box present.  Checking the Print box instructs Whistle that the user wants to print a pallet tag for this updated container.  The Copies box instructs Whistle on how many tags to print out.
Highlight “<OK>” and press “Enter”.  

Whistle will ask if you would like to proceed with this transaction.



Select <YES> to complete the transaction.



Inventory adjustments recorded here are simultaneously entered as a miscellaneous adjustment in your ERP system.

The screen’s values will reset upon completion of the transaction and wait for the user to enter a new Tracking # value for another transaction.  

The user may exit this screen by depressing the “Esc” (Escape) key or by selecting the <Back> button and pressing <Enter>.

Screen Settings (Ctrl-L):

Confirm Success - checkbox.  With this option turned on, Whistle will display a message confirming the transaction’s success.
