Use the Count or verify screen for physical inventories or to identify discrepancies between what's actually at an assignment and what the Tracker shows there.

• If you want to identify some but not all the discrepancies at an assignment, add the items you're interested in manually with the Add icon in the grid menu, then run a DISCREPANCIES ITEMS ENTERED report (which includes just the items you've manually added).
• If you want to identify all the discrepancies at an assignment, use the Fill button to fill the grid with all the items the Tracker lists at that assignment. After editing incorrect quantities and adding items actually at the assignment that aren't listed, run a DISCREPANCIES ASSIGNMENT ENTERED report (which includes all the discrepancies at the assignment).

If your organization manager has given you the right, you can update small tool and consumable quantities from the Count or verify screen. Equipment, expensive tool and vehicle discrepancies, however, can't be changed from this screen (transfer the items in question to their correct assignments in find and add to cart or fast add to cart).

If you're using the mobile version of the Count or verify screen, you can scan barcodes with your device's camera (see barcoding).

• If you Fill the screen, click the Edit icon in the grid menu to edit the rows where the quantity on hand differs from the quantity reported.
• If an item that's listed isn't actually at the assignment, don't delete it, rather, change its quantity to zero. Deleting an item (by clicking the checkbox in the left-hand margin of the grid then clicking the Delete icon) only deletes it from the Count or verify list. Deleted items won't appear in the DISCREPANCIES ITEMS ENTERED report, neither will their quantities be updated if you Record quantity item discrepancies.

• To select an item, type 3 or more letters or numbers from its item number, description or cross-reference in the ITEM (on a computer) or SEARCH (on a smart phone or tablet) field. If more than one item's number, description or cross-reference contains the letters or numbers you typed, a list of matching items will appear (pick one or continue typing to refine your search). If just one item matches, it will be selected and a new row will be added. If you're using a computer, click V on the right side of the ITEM field to expose the entire list, X to clear the field.


• When you're done editing, click the Save icon in the grid menu.


• If you're using a smart phone or tablet with Scan to Web installed and have checked Use smart phone or tablet camera for scanner in the Preferences screen, you can enter items by touching Scan and scanning a barcode (see barcoding).
