Conducting Inventory using a 3rd Party Service

You can conduct physical inventory using a third party service and then upload this data to CStoreOffice®. For example, a store employee can do Gondola #1 or a walk-in cooler only and then upload this file as a partial count to CStoreOffice®. As a result, only the quantity of counted items will be adjusted in the system. Of course, that may be done by groups of items such as cigarettes, cigars or other groups.

Before data upload, make sure the Exclude from "Full Inventory audits" option is turned off for the related categories. Otherwise, the quantity values of the physical inventory may not be uploaded into CStoreOffice®. For more information about how to configure this category option, see Adding a New Category.
