In wholesale distribution, accurate inventory management is crucial for optimizing operations and meeting customer demands. However, traditional manual counting methods often lead to errors and inefficiencies that hinder productivity. Tvarana’s Inventory Count SuiteApp for NetSuite offers an automated solution that streamlines your inventory counting process from start to finish, ensuring you maintain accuracy and efficiency in your supply chain operations.
Tvarana Inventory Count SuiteApp leverages the power of NetSuite, the leading cloud-based ERP platform, to provide a comprehensive solution that automates and simplifies your inventory counting process from start to finish. With a host of cutting-edge features, this SuiteApp ensures greater accuracy, enhanced productivity, and significant time savings for your business.
Two key features that the Inventory Count SuiteApp offers are:
- Approval/rejection of Inventory Count records
- Consolidation of Inventory Count record and Inventory Adjustments
Approval/rejection of Inventory Count records
To enable this feature, begin by navigating to the INVENTORY COUNT APPROVE/RECOUNT screen within the application.
Users have the ability to filter items using various fields in the filters section.
- ITEM: Select a specific item to filter the results.
- LOCATION: Choose a location to filter the results based on location.
- BIN: Select a bin to filter results according to the bin.
- DATE: Enter a date value to retrieve results based on the specified date.
- MINIMUM NUMBER OF SCAN COUNTS: Specify the minimum number of scan counts required to identify the scan counts that meet this criterion.
The records that meet the filtering criteria will be displayed in black color. On the other hand, records that do not meet the criteria will be shown in red color, and the select checkbox will be disabled, preventing the user from approving or recounting the scanned record.
To further refine the results, the following filters can be applied:
- APPROVE/RECOUNT FLAG: This filter allows users to view results for approved and recounted records.
- RECORDS TO DISPLAY: Select an option to display specific types of records.
- SHOW ALL COUNTS: This option shows records for both unique and variance counts.
- SHOW ONLY UNIQUE COUNTS: This option displays only records for unique counts.
- SHOW ONLY VARIANCE COUNTS: This option filters and displays records for variance counts only.
In the actions section, users can choose an action to approve or recount the selected records from the list. Approved records will be visible in the Inventory Count screen, while recounted items will be deactivated and require a recount of the inventory.
Once the appropriate records have been selected from the list, choose the desired value for approval or rejection in the APPROVE/REJECT field and click the process button.
Consolidation of Inventory Count record and Inventory Adjustments
To consolidate multiple inventory count records into a single record, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the inventory count screen within the application.
- On the inventory count screen, locate and click the “Consolidate Items” button. This action combines items with the same locations and bins into a single record.
- Select the items that need to be adjusted onto a single Inventory Adjustment record. Check the “CONSOLIDATE RECORDS” checkbox and click the “Process” button.
To create a custom item worksheet, use the following instructions:
- Navigate to the “Generate Custom Worksheet” page.
- On the page, both bin and non-bin items can be included on a single worksheet.
In the primary filters section, apply the necessary filters such as location, bin, item, next count date, and last count date according to your specific requirements. Once the desired filters are set, click on the “Filter Items” button. Upon clicking this button, all items that match the applied filters will be shown in the item list.
You have the option to export these items into an Excel/CSV file or send them via email to any user selected in the Recipients field within the Email Configuration section. To send the worksheet via email, simply click on the “Email” button, and the worksheet will be sent to the specified user(s) based on the selected Author and Recipients.
