Running the Fill Tag Entry Program

After entering inventory counts into the system, you can subtract all tagged quantities from the on-hand amount by running the Fill Tag Entry program.

 Important: Subtracting tagged quantities assumes you selected the Include All Location Types check box in the Generate Control File window to count items tagged to sales orders. If you did not select this check box, do not run the Fill Tag Entry for Physical On Hand program.

If you keep tagged items in a separate staging area and not on the same shelf as regular stock, treat this area as a separate inventory count by doing the following:

Note: The Exclude Tagged Location Information On Physical Sheets control maintenance record determines whether your count sheets or cards indicate that tagged quantities exist at the location.

To run the Fill Tag Entry for Physical On Hand program:

  1. From the Physical menu, select Fill Tag Entry for Physical On Hand to display the Fill Tag Entry for Physical On Hand window.

  1. In the Count ID# field, enter the count control file ID of the inventory count for which to run the program.

The system populates the following fields:

Field

Description

Title

Title assigned to the selected count control file.

Branch

Last Control #

Last control number assigned to product in the count control file.

  1. In the Ctrl#/PrcLine field, Closedselect the options for which to run the program:

    Description

    Ctrl#

    • In the Start Control # field, enter the first control number in the range for which to run the program.

    • In the End Control # field, enter the last control number in the range for which to run the program.

    Note: The Price Line field is not accessible.

    Prc Line

    Runs the program for an individual price line.

    In the Price Line field, enter a price line for which to run the program.

    Note: You can only run the program for one price line at a time. In addition, the Start Control # and End Control # fields are not accessible.

     

Note: This option enables you to update portions of the physical inventory counts, instead of waiting for all counts to be verified.
