Since the counting process relies on human effort and attention, it has many features other than system functioning.For administrative issues and points to consider, you can review our helpful experiences in our 'Questions' section.
The counting process is carried out in two environments: handheld terminal and computer.Derinus works online with the database via remote access and does not require any transfer.Counting preparation, counting process, controlüand confirmation is done in 4 steps.
Counting Scenarios That Can Be Implemented in DerinSİS In the full venue count, the uncounted products are reset to zero upon confirmation.The stock quantity of the others is equal to the counting quantity. When counting a group of products, the counted group is defined in the product selector and those in this group that are not counted are reset to zero.Therefore, the product group specified in the product selector must actually correspond to the products listed.For example, it is necessary to count the entire category of a brand. In negative stock counting, with approval, it is assumed that those with negative stock but not counted are zero.Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that all negative stocks are thoroughly investigated. In the system list counting, a certain purpose is achieved.The system creates counting lists forThese products are counted.For example, you can try 25 different products every day.system lists.Expensive products, best-selling products, etc.Lists can be created automatically with a logic like this.Stores do the counting and headquarters reviews the results.
Basic Steps of the Counting Process
1. Preparation: Preparations must be made in physical and systemic aspects.Apart from the raid counts, importance should be given to informing the personnel.
2. Counting Process: It must be completed at once from the last closing time until the start of the next sale.
3. Control of Countingand Comparison: The count itself must be checked and counting errors corrected.Products that are not counted should be reported, and obvious errors should be easily caught by listing the quantity, price and amount in the reports of the products that are listed.Counting and stock comparisons are then made.
4. Approval of the Census: Documents cannot be entered backwards from the census date. If it is necessary, corrections must be made in the census documents in order not to change the census result.For this, control can be achieved by giving historical settings in System Management.
1. Recommendations for Whole Place Counts
Before physical counting begins, preparations should be made on shelves and warehouses.Storage conditions of the products should be made suitable for counting.Products scattered in different places should be collected in the same area if possible.Unexpected places such as behind shelves, behind doors, in corners should be checked. Attention should be paid to the completion of documents and transfer of sales before the counting date.
In terms of counting technique, three different items are taken from each shelf in the counting area divided into areas.It may be preferable for the person to pass.The first one is the gathering and preparing for counting step that we mentioned above, the second one is the step of writing it on a piece of paper and sticking it on the products after counting by hand, the third one is the step of counting by hand.You can also check the quantity and perform the entry step into the hand terminal.
To obtain more reliable counting results, it can be planned to count each area a second time by a different person.In this case, a stock comparison is made with the first count, and then when the second count is made, both the stock and the two count results are taken together and tripled.control is applied.
2.Using DerinUs Handheld Terminal
By opening files on the handheld terminal, counting can be done with more than one terminal and user.For conflicts, the number of items counted within the file and in total can be seen at any time.In the census management interface, information entered at the terminals can be monitored and reported instantly.Since operations in the terminal are carried out via remote access, directly connected to the system, undefined products are noticed as soon as they are scanned.When correction is required in counting numbers, the same threeBy scanning the product, 0 units are recorded.
The count file is displayed on the computer and can be modified.Deletion can only be done on the computer and must be written to a file.
It is necessary to plan well the files to be opened for users and fields.The boundaries of these areas must be finalized for users.
3.Counting-Stock Comparison StepBefore approval, comparison is made in many aspects.However, since the passage of time will cause other difficulties, the checks should be completed as soon as possible.A report can be obtained for the selected census file or for all files of that location.Various operations are performed according to the reasons for the differences above.When checking for counting errors, some errors can be caught quickly by sorting from most to least, based on sales price, quantity and amount.Forgotten sales data can be transferred, days with problems such as not keeping a Z report can be transferred again.Wrong documents and forgotten documents are entered backwards.
Barcode assignment and product description errors are usually noticed in two separate product images, plus and minus stock.Product transportation (movement combining) is done for these products.
In the backward entries made until the count is approved, if the products are not included in the count, care should be taken to add these quantities to the count file.
4. Census Approval The most important information about census approval is the date on which the count will be based.The creation date of the counting files is used in the comparison and control reports received before approval.A separate date is given during the confirmation step to ensure that products counted on different dates are recorded in the system as if they were counted on a certain date.During confirmation, various information that will assist users as the transactions continue is displayed as a log on the screen.
Confirm by Syncing
Entry and exit transactions are created only for the differences, in a way that results in counting the counted products into stock quantities.It is generally used in lists with small quantities and in cases where the differences are low.
Depending on the option to reset uncounted, there will be no errors in the count.Stock quantities of products that do not exceed the limit will be reset to zero.Here, ‘Product Selector’It is very important to specify a group of products with .The group characteristics of the products being counted should be selected exactly and all products belonging to this group should be counted.The uncounted product report is best helpful at this point.
The most common mistake in this census confirmation method is waiting to see the numbers in the census in the census documents created by the system.However, only the differences between stock and counting numbers are found here.Depending on this difference, we can find the product we are looking for in the document with input or output type from the two files created.we will find it.
Confirmation by Resetting: Output (entry for minuses) transactions are created so that the stock of the counted products is reduced to zero.The counting results are then written as a single input document.It is generally used in full venue counts and in cases where there is a lot of variation.The most questioned issue in this validation method is the creation of 3 census documents.Products with positive and negative stocks in the first two documents are reset separately.The third document contains the census results.
Ordering Systems and Local Correction
Ideally, daily negative stocks would be counted in stores and corrected automatically without the need for data processing.More importantly, negative stocks are excluded from the automatic ordering process.Therefore, products with negative stock are automatically reported to the relevant parties on a weekly or daily basis.IT must monitor products in this state very carefully.DerinSİS has a 'Local Correction' function for this process and it is implemented in a very practical way on the handheld terminal.
SKT Based Counting
In our projects where the SKT process is active, the counting results made with the square barcode work to correct the stock on an SKT basis.In this original structure, only threeCorrection transactions are not produced for the stock quantities of the products; correct entry and exit transactions are produced to capture the SKT dates on the labels.
