There are two different ways of how to do an inventory with pixi Mobile:

• (Item) Inventory: Using the Inventory program you can set the stock for one item in a bin.

• Bin Inventory: Using the Bin Inventory program you can perform a continuous inventory for a whole bin.

You can also correct reported shortages from the Inventory program.

Inventory

Follow these steps to inventorize an item of a specific bin:

1. Choose Inventory program from the list of programs.

2. Scan or enter the Bin that contains the item to be inventorized.

3. Scan the Item Barcode.

4. Count the item quantity and enter it in the Quantity field.
   Further down you can find the Quantity on this Bin as well as the Item Info. Click Next to proceed.

5. The item quantity was changed to the quantity you entered before and a success message is shown.
   
   

Correcting Shortages

You can correct stock shortages from the Inventory program. To correct a stock shortage:

1. Choose the Inventory program from the list of programs.

2. From the three-dot menu, tap the Check Shortages option. The Shortages page appears, displaying a list of all items with reported shortages, the date the shortage was reported on and the user who reported it.

   1. When only one combination of BM data is available in the bin, the step for entering BN and/or BBD is skipped during shortage checks, and the user only needs to enter the quantity. If more than one BM data combination is available, this step remains mandatory.

3. Tap an item in the list to enter a new quantity. When a quantity is entered, a normal inventory is performed.

If you have a large number of outstanding shortages and the correction is therefore taking a long time, Descartes pixi Support can close them all at once. Please contact our support team to initiate this process.

Bin Inventory

Follow these steps to inventorize items of a whole bin:

1. Choose the Bin Inventory program from the list of programs.

2. Scan or enter the Bin that contains the items to be inventorized.

3. Count the quantity of the first item of the bin and put this number into the Quantity field. In case you want to scan items one by one, set the Default quantity to 1 and continue with step 4.

4. Now scan the Item Barcode of the item you want to inventorize. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all items of this bin were scanned. Already scanned items can be shown in the List of Scanned Items.

5. If you have scanned all items, you can finish the inventory by clicking > Finish Inventory.
   Alternatively, you can scan the bin in the Item Barcode field to finish the inventory.
   The quantity of not scanned items will be put to 0.
