Handling Bad Scans in Physical Inventory
Key Steps
Identify Bad Scans: Recognize when a scan is considered bad due to scanning in the wrong location.
Mark as Bad Scan: If a scan is incorrect, mark it as a bad scan to remove it from the inventory.
Verify Physical Location: Confirm the physical location of the items with the person who scanned them.
Auto Transfer: Use the auto transfer function to quickly move the items to the correct location and update the inventory.
Corrected Scans: After transferring, mark the scans as corrected to ensure they are in the right place.
Maintain Accuracy: Regularly perform small cycle counts to continuously correct inventory discrepancies.
Cautionary Notes
