Enter your operator code.
Displays current system date.
"C" to clear current figures and post new.
Select the "C" option typically when making spot check counts (ie a particular product group or aisle location) and when the stock count purge is not being performed. The "C" option should typically not be used when doing an entire stock count. the following prompt displays.
"A" to include all products even if count number is zero.
"C" to include only products with count number greater than zero.
This warning appears when you select option "C". The most likely scenario is that you will perform a stock count purge before printing the register and updating the batch.
"A" to add and subtract to correct current figures.
The "A" option is used when there may be multiple entries for the same product. This is the preferred option if you are doing and entire stock count and if the stock count purge is being used.
The most likely scenario is that you will perform a stock count purge before printing the register and updating the batch.
Once the update method has been set for a batch, you cannot change it.
Your choice should be determined by the normal manner in which you calculate your product costs, also considering how accurate your average costs and supplier costs are.
"1" for average cost.
If average cost is zero use supplier #1 cost.
"2" for average cost.
If average cost is zero use last cost, and if last cost is zero use supplier #1 cost.

If last cost is not set, the last cost will be zero.
"4" for supplier #1 cost only.

After creating the handheld file, it is exported to the PDT devices used for stock counting using the normal file copy/transfer routine for your computer system.
Importing the file: after stock has been counted using handheld PDT devices the file must be imported from the PDT devices into IdealWare. Import the file from the PDT into the IdealWare working directory using the normal file copy/transfer routine for your computer system.
Select Stock Count Sheet from the Inventory Processing menu. At the batch selection screen press [F2] to scan through the existing batches and select the batch that created the original handheld file for export. If this batch is not available you can use any other open batch. At the Stock Count Entry display select [F6] at the following prompt.
[F6] for stock options.
The following prompt displays.
[F2] to update quantities.
Problems with the import file can be indicated by any of the following prompt alerts.
This alert message occurs when the file from the PDT device was not found in the IdealWare working directory. You can not continue until the PDT file has been imported to the IdealWare working directory.
[Enter] to clear alert message.
This alert message appears if the logical code does not exist for a product. If code in the count file is 10 characters long, the program assumes it is a logical code and requires conversion to the associated product code.
Enter correct product code.
[F5] to access product inquiry.
This alert message appears if the system cannot locate a product code.
Enter different code.
You can add the new code at another terminal and then press [Enter] to proceed.
This procedure rebuilds the stock count sheet batch with the new counts. You may then proceed to post the batch (see PROCEDURE - STOCK COUNT POSTING BATCH CREATION above).
NOTE: because the rebuilt stock count sheet batch only includes non-zero entries, if this procedure is used the stock count purge program should be run for the relevant range of products before updating the stock count posting batch.
