How To Zero Out/Remove An Item From Inventory and Reporting
When it comes to removing an item that is showing up in your inventory and reporting that you no longer sell, there are two ways of going about the process.
The two ways depend on if you need to account for the loss monetarily (Inventory Correct) versus just removing it since it's no longer used and you don't need to account for it (Receive/Return).
In certain circumstances, you may need to add the item back into the Stockroom/Station using Setup -> Concessions -> Station Items in order for it to appear in the inventory lists so you can adjust the amount.
Follow Steps 4 through 6 in order to see how this is done, just in reverse.
Using Receive/Return To Remove An Item
This process will not account for the removal of items monetarily on your reporting.
You will typically use this to remove an old item that you have no need to keep track of in any way.
1). Navigate to Actions -> Stock/Inventory -> Receive/Return
2). Use the dropdown box under Stock Station to select the correct Stockroom Number or Station Number you need to do these adjustments on.
3a). Step 1: Select the item in the item list on the left.
3b). Step 2: Enter the amount you need to change to make the item zero and enter an Order #.
3c). Step 3: If the item you are adjusting is a negative number, select Stock Options -> Receive.
If the item you are adjusting is a positive number, select Stock Options -> Return.
3d). Step 4: Select Add to List to finalize the Receive/Return.
3e). Step 5: Select Finish to complete the inventory adjustment.
4). Once this is done, navigate to Setup -> Concessions -> Station Items
5). Select the Station Number or Stockroom Number you wish to remove the item from in the dropdown box in the top left.
Stockrooms appear AFTER Station 99, so you may need to scroll down.
6). Move the item from the left side Station Item List to the right side Main Item List to remove it from the Station/Stockroom.
You can click and drag the item or use the arrows. As always, be sure to Save before closing the window after you make your changes.
7). If done correctly, the item will no longer show up in reports or in the Station/Stockroom inventory.
8). Do this for each item and then each station/stockroom the item appears in.
Using Inventory Correct To Remove An Item
This process will account for the removal of items monetarily on your reporting.
This is typically going to be used to know how much of a loss you have from removing these items from your inventory.
1). Navigate to Actions -> Stock/Inventory -> Correct Inventory
2). Select the Station/Stockroom you want to adjust/correct.
2a). (If it isn't showing in the list, you can add it by going to Setup -> Station Numbers)
Stockrooms appear AFTER Station 99, so you may need to scroll down.
3). Find the item you want to adjust and set the amount to zero.
Correct inventory is setting a new amount, rather than adjusting existing amounts, so you are setting the amount to zero, rather than subtracting or adding items to make it zero.
4). Once this is done, navigate to Setup -> Concessions -> Station Items
5). Select the Station Number or Stockroom Number you wish to remove the item from in the dropdown box in the top left.
Stockrooms appear AFTER Station 99, so you may need to scroll down.
6). Move the item from the left side Station Item List to the right side Main Item List to remove it from the Station/Stockroom.
You can click and drag the item or use the arrows. As always, be sure to Save before closing the window after you make your changes.
7). If done correctly, the item will no longer show up in reports or in the Station/Stockroom inventory.
8). Do this for each item and then each station/stockroom the item appears in.
