Clearing Scans from the Physical Inventory Scanner

Physical Inventory Scanner: Overview

Basic

After successfully uploading scans to Point of Sale, reviewing them, and saving to the Physical Inventory window, you must clear the scanner before the next scanning session (so they don't get uploaded a second time to your Physical Inventory).

If you conduct your physical inventory in discreet physical units (by department or aisle for example), clear the scanner after completing each unit and prior to starting scans for the next unit.

To clear scans from scanner memory from within Point of Sale:

- Select Clear Scanner Memory when prompted on the Upload window and follow the prompts

OR

- From the Physical Inventory window's I Want To menu, select Clear Counts from Scanner and follow the on-screen prompts

You can also clear one or all scans from the scanner unit directly as follows.

1. Turn the scanner on.

2. Press Esc repeatedly until at main menu, if not already there.

3. Select U tilities from the main scanner menu.

4. Select Clear Records (Delete Data on CipherLab scanner).

5. Press 1. All to clear all scans from memory, or 2. Last Collected to delete the last scan only.

6. Press 1. Yes to confirm or 2. No to cancel.

Note: Deleting the last scan removes the last item record entered, even if quantities greater than 1 were manually entered into the record.

Note: Two models of physical inventory scanner are supported. While the procedures for using them are the same, you may see slight differences in menu wording and button colors, names, or locations.
