| | + | Either highlight the desired function and press ‘Enter’ or simply enter the number of the option you wish to choose. Whistle will bring you to the appropriate screen. |
| | | | |
| − | Adjust Quantity (Inventory)
| + | ===[[GS:Inventory Menu Settings|Inventory Menu Settings]]=== |
| − | 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.

| − | 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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | Cycle Count
| + | |
| − | The second option on the Inventory menu is the “Cycle Count” function. Cycle Count is a means of keeping track of inventory by consistently counting different subsets of the entire inventory. Cycle Counts are performed by Inventory Control Personnel as a way of maintaining an accurate inventory count.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | !
| + | |
| − | NOTE!! The cycle count screens have their own screen-level user determined settings. Press Ctrl and L to access the settings screen. From the screen, the user can determine whether they would like to do a “blind” cycle count. A “blind” cycle count is one in which the user is not told what quantity of an item is expected to be on a pallet. Check this option if you would like to use blind counts.

| − | Blind - checkbox. With this option turned on, Whistle will allow the user to run a “blind-count”, which is when the user does not view the on-hand inventory quantity while counting.
| + | |
| − | GL Account - inputfield. This setting is used to advise your ERP which GL Account Whistle should post discrepancies in inventory against.
| + | |
| − | Suggest Bins - checkbox. With this option turned on, Whistle will suggest the bin associated with the active container pallet on the window.
| + | |
| − | Allow counting of any bin - checkbox. With this option turned on, Whistle will allow counting of any bin in the warehouse - not just bins that have been associated previously with a known ERP location.
| + | |
| − | Read Whistle Count Sheets - checkbox. With this option turned on, Whistle will read an internal count-sheet instead of the ERP count-sheet.
| + | |
| − | Warn if bin not on count - checkbox. With this option turned on, Whistle will give a message warning box when not on the count is encountered.
| + | |
| − | Confirm Variance - checkbox. With this option turned on, Whistle will prompt for a confirmation with a pop-up message box about the variance about to be recorded.

| + | |
| − | Show Layers and Parts - checkbox. With this option turned on, Whistle will show the layers and parts fields on the count screen.
| + | |
| − | Move Container
| + | |
| − | The “Move Container” option of the Inventory menu is used to record any and all container movements within a warehouse. ALL CONTAINER MOVEMENTS must be entered into the system. This is the only way to guarantee the reliability of the inventory data. Choose ‘Move Container’ from the Inventory Menu to record a container movement. This functionality is sometimes available from various “Track #” fields throughout Whistle using Ctrl-T. This provides the user a short-cut to the move-container functionality without having to leave the working screen they are in.
| + | |
| − | To record a container movement:
| + | |
| − | Scan or enter the tracking number of the pallet or container. The screen displays the item # , pack # and product # along with it’s description to include the quantity and status of the items. The user can also select the check box “Repeat Move” to repeat this same move of a subsequent pallet.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Scan or type in the Bin number where the pallet is located.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you mistakenly scan the wrong Bin tag or the item is found in a different Bin location, the system will display the following warning message: Press ‘ENTER’ to clear the warning message.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Enter the Destination Bin in the ‘To Bin’ category.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If the previously entered Bin number was in error, rescan the correct Bin. If the container is found in a different Bin than where Whistle located it, you may still move the container to the new location. However, this indicates that a previous move was not recorded. Whistle will record this misinformation to an ‘Exceptions Report’.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Press “Move” to record the move.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The system will ask you to verify the request. It will offer you a chance to catch an error or change your mind. You must press “OK” on the confirmation screen to complete the entry.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | !
| + | |
| − | NOTE: “Move Pallet” does not prevent you from placing pallets with different items and/or pull dates in the same bin. To guard against this, use Putaway. Unlike the ‘Move Pallet’ function, ‘Putaway’ will suggest a particular bin into which to place the item(s). ‘Putaway’ will suggest that you place like items in like bins.
| + | |
| − | Screen Settings :
| + | |
| − | Allow R-bin moves - checkbox. With this option turned on, Whistle will allow the move to and from an “R-Bin”. An R-Bin is a temporary bin set up for Receiving. This bin is a transitory place where off-loaded inventory sits before the receipt is committed.

| + | |
| − | Multi-Move
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Multi-Move window is used to simultaneously move multiple pallets at a single time. It works by individually selecting the pallets the user wishes to move and placing them on a list. Once the user is satisfied with the list, the destination bin is input and the moves are committed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | How to add a pallet to the list :
| + | |
| − | The Track # field at the top of the window is available for scan or typed entry of the desired pallet to be added to the list. The list in maintained in a box which resides in the middle of the screen. This box shows approximately 5-6 pallets at a time using a scroll-bar to maneuver through them. This box maintains the column number, or position of the pallet in the list. It also maintains the pallet number, its corresponding bin and the status of the pallet.

The Whistle inventory function allows users to perform miscellaneous inventory transactions. The inventory option is likely to be used by personnel in charge of receiving, putaway, shipping, picking, quality control, and inventory control.
To return to the Main menu, highlight the "<Back>" button and press "Enter", or press the "Esc" key.
Remember that not all of these options will appear on every user’s display. It entirely depends on the setup of the Inventory Menu’s Screen Settings.
Either highlight the desired function and press ‘Enter’ or simply enter the number of the option you wish to choose. Whistle will bring you to the appropriate screen.
