Setup

The Count activity utilizes Business Central’s standard Physical Inventory Journal functionality to process inventory adjustments. As a result, in order to properly work with this activity, you must set up at least one physical inventory item journal template with a defined number series:

Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration will use this assigned number series to assign numbers to counting activities that are added to a specified journal batch through a handheld device.

The Count activity can be configured for a particular mobile profile by entering COUNT in the Page field on the Mobile Profile Setup page.

Fill in the fields as follows:

• Show Qty. Calculated: Indicate whether you want the Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration page to include information about the calculated on hand quantity for a physical inventory item. This information is copied directly from the Qty. (Calculated) field on the corresponding journal line in Business Central.

• Show Remaining Tab: Indicate whether mobile users will have the ability to access a Remaining tab that contains information about the remaining items that need to be counted as part of a physical inventory activity.

• Show Counted Tab: Indicate whether mobile users will have the ability to access a Counted tab that contains information about the items that have already been counted as part of a physical inventory activity.

• Show Details Tab: Indicate whether mobile users will have the ability to access a Details tab that contains additional information about the items that are included as part of a physical inventory activity.

• Accumulate Counts: Indicate whether the recording of multiple count quantities against the same journal line will be cumulative. If this option is enabled, a counted quantity will continue to increase with each activity. For example, if we recorded a quantity of 2 units against a journal line, then recorded a second quantity of 3 units against the same line, the total quantity would be 5 units. If this option is not enabled, the last recorded quantity will be interpreted as the counted quantity. Using our previous scenario, recording first a quantity of 2 units and then a quantity of 3 units would result in a total quantity of 3 units.

• Confirm Insert New Line: Indicate whether a confirmation must be given when the user enters a combination that was not part of the count.

• Show “Ignore Parsing” Barcode Button: Set the corresponding Value field to Yes to display the Ignore Parsing toggle on the Physical Count screen of the Mobile Warehouse app. By default, this option is set to No.

• Parsing by default: Set the corresponding Value field value to Yes to automatically apply the GS1 barcode parsing process. By default, this option is set to Yes.

• Application Identifier Quantity Sequence: Specifies the preferred order in which the Application Identifiers (AIs) should be recognized when scanning barcodes during planned movement. The system parses various quantity-related AIs, such as AI 37, AI 31, AI 31, AI 31 and AI 32, during inventory movement.
