Stock Taking Page
If file data have not been imported from the Import Page in Settings, this page can not be used. On the top of the page, there is a button “Scan” which explains how to proceed with the scanning. Under the button, the barcode and the name of the scanned product will be displayed after the scan. If you have selected the “section, drop, shelf” option, an extra line of fields will appear on the page.
Near the middle of the page, expiry date fields exist in mm-yy format, followed by the quantity of the product. Underneath a plus(+) button exists for the purpose of adding additional expiry dates and quantities. In case the expiry dates are left blank, the system will recognise it as the product to not have an expiry date and automatically set it to 9/99. Next to the plus(+) button, the Total Quantity of the inserted dates is automatically calculated.
In the center, an “Update” button is located. Pressing it leads to the Scan Barcode Page again while saving all the entries in a temporary place until an Export action is requested. Returning to this page after the initial scan, the “Scan” button is changed and is now displaying the previously scanned product.
On the top right corner of the Page, a home button redirects the page to the home page while the list button redirects the page to the Scanned items list page.
