Recent Counts screen ​

The Recent Counts screen lists every scan of the branch's active count. From here you correct, delete and export scans to a summary file or straight into your ERP.

Who sees it: Primary User · Co-Manager · Sub-Manager

Used by modules: Counting

TL;DR

Pick a store, filter and merge the scans in the search bar, fix quantities in the table, then click Export Count Summary Data File to download a file in your ERP's format or a custom Excel.

How to get here ​

  • On the phone: ☰ menu → Inventory → Recent Counts
  • On the computer: side menu → Inventory → Recent Counts

What's on the screen ​

Inventory counts page with the store select (1), action buttons (2), the collapsed scope progress card (3), search and merge bar (4) and the counts table (5)

(1) Store select ​

The Select Store list decides which branch you work on. Every action on the screen – filtering, deleting, exporting – applies to the selected branch. Below the list, Total Items Counted in Selected Branch shows the sum of quantities.

(2) Action bar ​

ButtonWhat it doesWhen it shows
Export Count Summary Data FileOpens the download dialog (see Exporting a summary file)Always
Expiry reportOpens the report of scanned items that have an expiry date. See Expiry reportWhen at least one scan in one of your branches has an expiry date
Delete Inventory Count in This BranchDeletes every scan in the branch. See Dangerous actionsWhen a store is selected and it has scans
Export count summary with «system name»Sends the count summary straight to the ERP through the integration. See Direct export through an integrationWhen an integration that supports export is set up in Integrations
Export SummaryA menu to choose which system to export toWhen several integrations are set up

(3) Count scope card ​

When count scopes exist for the branch, the progress card appears here: scope select, coverage percentage, and the Not Counted Yet, Partially Counted - Variance Report and Out of Scope tabs. The Edit Count Goals button on the card (Primary User and Co-Manager only) opens the scope management dialog.

(4) Search, merge and sort ​

FieldOptions
SearchFree text. The barcode icon in the field opens the camera – scan an item to see all of its scans
Search scopeAll Parameters · Collector Name · Location Name
Merge Scans ByItem Code · Barcode · Location · Batch Number · Expiry Date · Status · Merge by parent · Group by category, plus one option per account scan field, named after the field (several can be checked)
Select Date RangeShows only scans in the range
Sort ByID · Scanner · Item Code · Quantity · ERP diff · Monetary diff · Updated At
OrderAscending · Descending
Visible ColumnsChoose which columns the table shows. The choice is remembered

Click Show Results to apply, or Clear All to reset.

When to merge: without merging, every scan is a row – good for auditing one counter's work. Merging by Item Code or Barcode gives one row per item with its total quantity, and is the only mode in which the ERP diff column is calculated.

(5) Scans table ​

The columns are listed under Fields and options. Each row ends with two buttons:

  • Edit Quantity – opens a dialog to change the scan's quantity, which also holds the scan field values. The change saves immediately and updates the totals.
  • Delete Item from Count – deletes the scan after confirmation.

The paginator under the table offers 10, 20, 35 or 50 rows per page.

Fields and options ​

ColumnWhat it shows
ScannerThe user who scanned
Item Code, Barcode, DescriptionFrom the catalog. A parent item (a case with its own barcode) carries a Parent badge
QuantityThe counted quantity. Negative = stock removal
ERP QuantityThe catalog balance for this branch. When the figure is summed across several catalog items, hovering shows the breakdown
ERP diffCounted minus ERP. Shown only when merged by item code or barcode; if the row is still split by location, batch, expiry, status or a scan field the diff is partial
Monetary diffThe diff multiplied by the price
Cost Price, Selling PriceFrom the catalog. Hide Cost Price under Visible Columns if you do not want it on screen
LocationThe location entered at scan time
Expiry Date, Batch No., StatusEntered at scan time when the matching settings are on. Status comes from the account's status field
Scan fieldsThe values the account's other scan fields received at scan time, as Field name: value
Lender (Loan/Return)Borrower name and action type, for scans from the loans module
ERP Location, Supplier, CategoryFrom the catalog
Count DateDate and time of the scan's last update

Notes written on a scan (the Scan notes setting) do not appear in the table. They are included only in the Notes column of the Excel file.

Scan fields in the table and the export ​

Scan fields are pick lists the account defines (status, color, size and so on), and every counter fills them in after a scan. Their values show on this screen as follows:

  • In the table: the Scan fields column shows the values, and status has its own Status column.
  • When editing: Edit Quantity lets you correct the values. A field set as required is not enforced in this dialog.
  • When merging: under Merge Scans By each field is a separate option. A ticked field merges rows with different values; an unticked field splits rows by the picked value.
  • In an Excel file: each field gets its own column, and Merge Scans into One Row By: offers an option per field, as in the table.
  • In an ERP format: rows are always merged across scan fields, because the ERP file has no columns for them.

Exporting a summary file ​

Export Count Summary Data File opens a dialog with three steps.

Step 1 – Download Inventory Count Summary File ​

  1. Pick a branch under Select Store. A company with several branches also gets All Branches Combined.
  2. Optional: pick a Count Scope – the file then includes only the scope's items. Default: All - No Scope Filter.
  3. Optional: pick Filter by session – Active (default), All sessions or a specific session.
  4. Pick a format under Select Format for Count Summary File.
  5. Click Continue to Download, or Show Filter Options to narrow the data first.

Available formats: Excel File with All Count Data, Priority, Hashavshevet, Yarpa, SAP B1, SAP B1 - Retail Module, Nesher - Tevel, All4Shop - ProfitAge, One - ERP, One - Advanced, Kod Bina - Minisoft, Orpak, Restigo, Rivhit, Comax, Musachit 2000. Kod Bina - Minisoft adds one more settings dialog; every other non-Excel format downloads immediately in the layout the external system expects. Pharmacies connected to Yarpa can also send the summary directly, with no file – see Direct export through an integration.

Step 2 – Filter Count Data (optional) ​

OptionWhat it does
Export Data in Selected LocationsOnly scans from the chosen location. Default: All - No Location Filter
Export Data in Specific Time RangeOnly scans within the date range
Export Only Items Added Manually to the SystemItems created in the app rather than from a file or integration
Export Only Items Counted with Negative Quantity - Outgoing from InventoryStock removals only
Export Only Items Not CountedCatalog items with no scan
Export Only Items with Difference Between Counted Quantity and ERP QuantityVariance report

Active filters show as tags at the bottom of the dialog. Click Exit Filter Settings and Continue to Download to move on.

Step 3 – Excel settings (Excel format only) ​

In Export Data to Excel File - Default Settings Can Be Changed:

  • Merge Scans into One Row By: Item Code · Barcode · Location · Batch · Expiration Date · Status · Merge parent into child · Group by category, plus one option per account scan field. With nothing checked, every scan is a row.
  • Export Entire Item Catalog as One List - Including Uncounted Items – uncounted items get quantity 0.
  • Also Export Items Not Counted but with Existing ERP Quantity Value.
  • Select Columns to Appear in Count Summary File – the choice is remembered for the next download.

Click Download File with These Settings. The message The count summary file is downloading now confirms the download started.

Available Excel columns

Item Code, Item Name, Barcode, Quantity, Discrete Quantity, Location, Counter Names, Total Buying Price, Sort Code, Color, Size, Model, Unit of Measure, Total Selling Price, Buying Price, Selling Price, Supplier Name, Added Manually to Catalog, Category, Quantity by Inventory Management System, Location by Inventory Management System, Quantity Difference, Update Date, Update Time, Batch Number, Expiration Date, Status, Notes, Package Quantity. In addition, every account scan field gets a column named after the field.

Direct export through an integration ​

When an integration that supports export is set up, for example Yarpa for pharmacies, Export count summary with «system name» sends the count summary straight to the ERP, with no file.

  1. Click Export count summary with «system name» (or Export Summary and pick a system).
  2. In the Export Count Summary to Inventory Management System dialog pick a branch and click Export Count Summary to Inventory Management System.
  3. When it finishes, a summary appears: N items sent, and if some lines were not sent – N lines were not sent: with the reasons.

With Yarpa, a line is not sent when the item was added by hand during the count, does not exist in the ERP's catalog, has a non-numeric or missing item code, or has a negative or fractional quantity. Fix those lines in the ERP or the catalog and send again.

If the export stops partway, the message says how many items already reached the ERP and how many did not. Check with the ERP provider before sending again, so nothing is counted twice. Details for each system are on Integrations.

Expiry report ​

The Expiry report button gathers every item scanned with an Expiration Date, soonest first. It shows what has already expired and what needs to come off the shelf soon, without exporting the count.

  • The red number on the button: how many rows have expired or expire within 7 days.
  • What is included: scans with an expiry date from every count, including closed counts (marked Closed count: with the count name), in the branches you may count in. Picking scans are left out, because those items have already left the shelf.
  • One row per item for the same expiry date, batch, location and count. Repeat scans merge into one row with the quantities summed and the number of scans.
  • Filter tiles: Expired, Within 7 days, 8-30 days, 31-90 days and Over 90 days, each with its number of rows and units. Clicking a tile filters the list.
  • Search by item, barcode, batch, location or counter.
  • Selected branch / All branches: when you have picked a branch and have several branches, the report opens on the picked branch and you can switch to all branches. With no branch picked it shows all branches.
  • Export to Excel downloads the rows shown after filtering.

The report shows up to 5,000 rows, those closest to expiry. On a phone the rows show as cards, and Show more loads the next ones.

To get a WhatsApp alert about items about to expire, turn on Daily Expiration Report in WhatsApp alerts.
