Importing StockTake Files (STF)

Updated over 2 months ago

Description

When opening a new WMS Workspace or updating stock counts, a Stock-Take-File (STF) can be used.

Detail Steps

STEP 1.

Open WMS > Item List register > Actions menu > Item Adjustment >

select a location from the drop-down list.

STEP 2.

Select "Search Inventory".

Once the Stock List updates, click the Export to STF

This will create a Stock-Take-File with the current counts for each item currently inventoried.

The file is a CSV – Comma Separated Variables file. See Attached "Example_StockTake.CSV" as an export Stock-Take-File example.

STEP 3.

Open the file in Excel (make sure you select *.csv as the file filter). Note that a TILDA (~) must be placed in the BATCH-SERIAL column and a 0 as LOT for untracked stock.

STEP 4.

UPDATE THE COUNT column to reflect the TRUE COUNT of stock OnHand.

STEP 5.

Save the file as *.CSV.

STEP 6.

Follow Step 1, then choose Import STF…

Notes

Please be aware of selecting correct Accounting options if applicable.

For a Standard adjustment please set Nett Cost as *(Default).

STEP 7.

Verify the Difference column shows the difference between the original and the new count.

Note: You can enter new bins into the stocktake file, and they will be automatically created when the import file is loaded.
