Hello all!
It's the end of the year, so it's everyone's favorite time; inventory.

We have our inventory broken up into about 25 different groups in Flex5. E.g. speakers, sources, etc etc etc.

When creating a new inventory count, is it possible for have MULTIPLE inventory groups to count? Or is the answer have 25 different counts?

  Hey Tom,

  There's a feature in Flex5 called Count Group that allows you to do the counting (scanning) for multiple counts in 1 screen.  You'll need to assign each count to the same "Inventory Count Group" under the count's settings.  Once you've done that, you can click on the 3-dot ("...") menu to the left of any count, and you'll see an option for "Go to [count group name]".  If you click on that, it will take you to a scan screen where you can count (scan) items that pertain to the counts that are a part of the group.

  

  I'm personally very happy to see this feature as it works well for the strategies I use in consulting Flex customers in their inventory counts.  I have not done rigorous testing of the feature yet, but you should find it as a simple way to scan items relating to multiple counts.

  Hi Aaron,

  So just to confirm, I still need to open a count for every single inventory group?

  Yes, you'll need to create a count for each inventory group that you want included in your larger count process.
