Physical Inventory

Purpose:
To allow you to take the palm scanners and scan the model and serials of your current inventory, and quickly and accurately compare this list to your current inventory list in WhirlWind Software.

How to:
Using the Palm Scanners go collect the Model, Serial, Location, and Employee using the Inventory program on your palm scanner.
Suggestion: designate physical areas of warehouse, floor, and other areas. Scan one section at a time. Hot Sync and then Import the data to WhirlWind Software. Do not Hot Sync one palm then Hot Sync another without importing between Hot Syncs. Have a person go get a physical counts of how many products are in each area, and make sure the quantity they report is the same as what is imported from the scanner. When a product has been scanned mark it so that every knows that product has been counted.
