USING ABE AND A PDE STOCKTAKING UNIT

Here are some instructions to use the PDE when doing a stocktake:

  1. In Control, select Stock -> Stocktake -> Record Pre-Stocktake Quantities

    1. Assume Recorded but not counted items are zero = Y
    2. Select the other options as applicable.
  2. Turn on the PDE unit.
  3. On PDE, select "Clear data on PDE" -> "Count File" to ensure it is blank when you first start.

  4. On PDE, select unit "Collect Count = 1"
  5. Start scanning all items in the store
  6. On computer desktop, double-click on the "PDE" icon (it allows the server to talk to the PDE unit)

  7. Plug in the PDE unit when ready to download
  8. In Control, select Stocktake -> PDE Stocktake Operations -> Retrieve Counts from PDE.

  9. On PDE, select "Upload Counts"
  10. In Control, A file name will be displayed on the screen. Press <enter> to select this file name.

  11. "Do you wish to import" = Y
  12. Once the system has imported, you should DELETE the data from the PDE unit
  13. Wait for 1 minute for counts to be processed.
  14. In Control, select Stock -> Stocktake -> Stocktake Variance Report. This will show all variances between quantity in computer and quantity on shelves.

  15. When satisfied with variance report, select -> Stocktake -> Generate Stocktake Adjustments - This will finalise the stock.
