Mobile Counts by Position

The Order/Valuation Counts by Position screens in Compeat Mobile display a list of inventory items grouped by location and initially sorted by position, and allows you to manually enter counts of purchase unit and inventory unit quantities. These screens can also be used to review and/or edit counts taking by barcode scanning. When the mobile device is synchronized with Compeat Advantage on your PC, these updates will update the Order Counts or Valuation Counts screens of Compeat Advantage.

Note: There is an important difference in the way that items are added to inventory when entered manually rather than by barcode scanning. For this reason, items entered manually in the "...by Position" screens replace any numbers already entered, while items entered by scanning through the "...by Barcode" screens add to any previously entered numbers.
