Revel 2.48 Physical Inventory Process

Before you Begin...

The NEW Revel 2.48 Physical Inventory process no longer requires quantity on hand to be reset to zero before beginning the process. However, please take time to plan the method which you use to create the sections. Do not place products in multiple sections. Doing so could result in counting products and then setting them to zero.

Also, the Physical Inventory count can be performed from the Physical Inventory App AND from the POS App. This article instructs you to use the Physical Inventory App.

Select "Physical Inventory" button.

Select the section name to count.

Either select the product from the list or tap the search bar (Type Name or Scan Barcode) and then scan the product. Note: You can touch the barcode in brackets to the right side of the search bar in order to use the devices camera to scan barcodes. However, this approach does take longer as you must orient the barcode in the camera window with the red line across the barcode.

Enter quantity counted and press Confirm.

After tapping Confirm the product will moved from the "In Progress" list to the "Completed" list.

Note: To add to a count for a product that has already been counted, tap the "Completed" list and select the product, press the + button, enter the additional quantity and press Confirm. For example: In this scenario there was an initial count of 2 for the product below and we then counted an additional 10 of the product to bring the total counted quantity to 12.

When you have finished scanning the entire section, click Finish and select another section to start scanning. Once all sections have been completed, click Finish. Note: If you do not count a product either by scanning the product or manually selecting the product in the Inventory App, its quantity will automatically be set to zero when you finish the section by tapping Finish.

After all sections have been completed, It will show you that there is no scheduled inventory at this time.

Wait 3-5 minutes and then go back to the management console and click Inventory>Physical Inventory. You will now see that the status shows Complete.

We recommend that you expand each section one at a time to go through the counts and make any necessary changes by changing the value for Actual for a product.

You can select the Recount option over under Actions if you would like to send that section back to the Inventory application to be recounted. If not, select Accept.

Once all sections have been counted and accepted in the management console, click End Physical Inventory to complete the process and apply the changes to your inventory.
