Step-By-Step Guide
Swipe in from the left, and choose Stocktake/Inventoy Count from the sidebar menu.
Choose New, or Resume if you are continuing from a previously created count.
If you're starting a new count, give it a name, use the Stock/Inventory Type option filter to a certain product type (optional), then tap Choose Brands to continue.
Choose the Brands you want to count, the tap Start to begin.
If this is your first time performing an inventory count, PhorestGo will request access to your device's camera. This is so you can scan barcodes using the camera.
Adding a Product
Use your camera to scan the barcode of a product, then enter the number of that product that you have counted, and tap Save & Add to add it to the inventory count.
Alternatively, you can use the + button to add a product manually.
Reviewing & Finishing
Once you've finished counting your products, tap the Review button.
Use the button to add notes to your inventory if you need to. This can be used if you need to take note of anything, for example faulty or damaged inventory.
Notes will appear in your Reconciliation report, which can be generated on Phorest desktop by going to Manager > Stock Takes/Inventory Count > Reconciliation.
Tap the Finish button to finish your inventory count.
Completing & Applying Your Inventory Count
The final step in completing your inventory count is to apply it, which will result in each of the counted products being updated in your product list.
This step must be completed on Phorest desktop. Open Phorest on your computer and go to Manager > Inventory Count/Stock Takes.
Single-click on your count, then click Apply Inventory Count/Stock Take to apply it.
