Processing the remote inventory data file
After you collect your remote inventory data (see the preceding sections), you
need to process the data file. These instructions can also be used to process a file
of saved PHD scans (see page 223).
To process the data, from the Inventory main window, click Remote or select
Inventory | Remote Inventory. The Remote Inventory dialog appears:
To process an inventory
data file, select Data File.
Click Browse to locate the
file you want to process.
Select how you want to
identify items that are out
of order on the shelf. For
more information, see the
table on page 222.
After selecting your data file and shelf checking options, click
PROCEED
. The
Remote Inventory progress dialog appears.
When the data has been processed, Inventory generates an exception report to
alert you to items that may require followup (see the next section, Interpreting
the Remote Inventory exception report"). We recommend that you use Print
Preview to view all of your Remote Inventory exception reports. After
previewing them, you may want to print or save your exception reports until
inventory is complete.
