myTurn February 2022: Physical Inventory Count/Check Workflow

New physical inventory check / count workflow

We’re exceited to announce the first version of our new Physical Inventory Check / Count workflow is in open beta testing! We’d also added many other small updates, including the ability for admins to create Gift Certificates without purchasing them (in beta).

Super Admins can start a Physical Inventory count at:

Settings > Inventory > Physical Inventory

and then scan, enter, or check off all items found. myTurn already knows which items are (supposed to be) checked out or disabled and will not present those items (unless they are returned before the inventory session is completed).Physical Inventory Check Screen

 

To mark that you have found an item, scan or enter its Item ID into the “mark” box. If you are using a barcode or RFID scanner with memory, you can also mark multiple items at once via the “Mark Multiple” option, by outputting multiple IDs at once:

 

If you find an item that is broken or needs maintenance, you can also search for it and then set a status on that item quickly–or click on the Item name and edit it.

Completing a session: when you have marked all the found items, you can set a status on the remaining items (e.g. “Missing”). Please note that there is no undo, though you can export which items were changed:
