Automatically sum the count quantities for a single item on the Physical Count worksheet

Summary:

Automatically sum the count quantities for a single item on the Physical Count worksheet

Can CPMobile automatically sum the count quantities for a single item on a CPMobile Physical Count worksheet?

Solution:

• If the Scan = Qty is set to OFF for the worksheet, the user will be prompted to tap the count qty into the line after selecting/scanning it on to the worksheet. The next time the user scans the item, they can Long Press the existing count quantity (1.0+ second). An Alert Entry pops up allowing the user to enter a value to ADD to the existing count value for that unit.
• If the Scan = Qty 1 is set to ON for the worksheet, each time the merchant scans a barcode, the quantity for that item will increment to correspond to the number of times the barcode is scanned. The user can also Long Press the existing count quantity (1.0+ second) to increase the quantity.

Note: The one time the user cannot tap and edit (or long press) a count like this is for a gridded item. For a gridded item, the user can only edit the count quantities using CPMobile’s Grid View.

Notes for Method 1:

When entering physical counts in CPMobile, if the Scan = Qty 1 is set to OFF for the worksheet, the user will be prompted to tap the count qty into the line after selecting/scanning it on to the worksheet. However, the user can Long Press the original count quantity at any time and enter a new amount to ADD to the original amount.

For example, original count quantity for item ADM-SCD is 5 on the count worksheet. If the user “Long Presses” the qty 5 for ADM-SCD, they will be prompted with a dialog that reads “Enter quantity to add; Adding to 5.” They can enter any value and it will add it to the original value of 5 so that the user does not need to do math on-the-fly.

Notes for Method 2:

If the Scan = Qty 1 is set to ON for the worksheet, each time the user scans a barcode the quantity for that item will increment to correspond to the number of times the barcode is scanned. Long pressing will also work under these circumstances.
