Complete Counts
To get started, select Inventory from the bottom navigation bar.
Then, select Start counting on a due count list. If you don't see the count list, a Tenant Admin may need to unlock it by opening the web browser and selecting + Add Inventory on the count list.
This will pull up a list of products. To begin counting, select a Product.
Next, enter the product quantity that you have on hand. This can be done by selecting the blank space located under the items UOM (Unit of Measurement). UOMs are determined by the individual invoice items grouped with your product via Item Review.
Pro tip: Don't have anything left of this particular product? Select Out of stock to automatically apply zero to your stock level.
Once your quantity has been typed in, select Save.
Repeat these steps as needed until every item in your count list has a corresponding quantity. Once you've finished, select Submit count.
You'll then be taken to the Summary screen, which gives a breakdown of the inventory data you've entered. This data will be available on both the desktop and mobile versions of xtraCHEF.
Review Counts
To review information for submitted counts, select View details from your Inventory page.
