The Whistle ‘Find Inventory’ option is used to locate inventory within a warehouse using key search parameters. These might include Bin #, Track #, Item #, Lot #, or Pull Date. Choose the ‘Find Inv’ option form the Inventory Menu to access this function. This function is also available on certain Track # fields throughout Whistle (Ctrl-T) so a user may search for a desired pallet and return its pallet number to the origin screen’s tracking field.

To locate inventory: The ‘Find Inventory’ screen allows users to perform inventory queries using one or any combination of the search parameters listed. This function allows queries to be either very broad or quite specific.


Enter the key search parameter(s) of your query.

The search parameter may be a bin #, track#, item #, lot #, or pull date. You may enter more than one search parameter. Select the appropriate Sort and Show criteria for your search results. Use the ‘Z’ and ‘A’ keys to scroll between the options in these scroll fields.

The next picture is an example of a query looking for all items located in Bin "RECSTAGE" with track numbers between 100060 and 100090. The results are sorted by Pull Date, and only those without holds are displayed.

The result of the query shows there are 14 pallets that meet the query’s requirements. Use the arrow or tab keys to scroll through the query results.

Highlight the item and press the “Enter” key to see more details about the item(s) attached to this tracking number.

The details include lot number, quantities, status, pull date, production date, and the last person moving or making an adjustment to this tracking number. Each “item” on the pallet can be made the focus-item for which further information may be displayed. To cycle through the available items on a pallet - use the A-Z keys to go up and down the item list.

There is a "<MORE>" button the user may select to look at further details related to catchweighting.

Another button available is the <History> button. This option allows the user to peruse the transactional history of the selected pallet. Comments can be added to a historical transaction entry from this screen as well by filling in the Comment field and using the "<Update>" button to commit the entry.

The last button on this screen is the "<View Cases>" button. This option will allow the user to view the individual case information for each case on the selected pallet.
