USING ABE AND A PDE STOCKTAKING UNIT
Here are some instructions to use the PDE when doing a stocktake:
In Control, select Stock -> Stocktake -> Record Pre-Stocktake Quantities
- Assume Recorded but not counted items are zero = Y
- Select the other options as applicable.
- Turn on the PDE unit.
On PDE, select "Clear data on PDE" -> "Count File" to ensure it is blank when you first start.
- On PDE, select unit "Collect Count = 1"
- Start scanning all items in the store
On computer desktop, double-click on the "PDE" icon (it allows the server to talk to the PDE unit)
- Plug in the PDE unit when ready to download
In Control, select Stocktake -> PDE Stocktake Operations -> Retrieve Counts from PDE.
- On PDE, select "Upload Counts"
In Control, A file name will be displayed on the screen. Press <enter> to select this file name.
- "Do you wish to import" = Y
- Once the system has imported, you should DELETE the data from the PDE unit
- Wait for 1 minute for counts to be processed.
In Control, select Stock -> Stocktake -> Stocktake Variance Report. This will show all variances between quantity in computer and quantity on shelves.
When satisfied with variance report, select -> Stocktake -> Generate Stocktake Adjustments - This will finalise the stock.
