Scheduled Inventory Counts - Reconcile Aftermath
Has anyone found any way to speed up reconciling a scheduled inventory count. With all of our new found project time, we went for a full schedule inventory as opposed to "reset for physical count" per dept. as we have in the past. I was fully aware that I would be spending quite a lot of time cleaning up the system from years of changed process and renaming things to keep production and sales both happy. I have found that if I need to batch a handful of items, I can make them presumed missing in their regular inventory window by cross referencing the missing items from the reconcile list, then if I re-open and close the count, those items are now clear of the list. Seeing if anyone else has fond a way to clear things faster or if anyone knows a process for selecting multiple items in the reconcile interface, instead of only line by line.

Ben, there's not a way to batch reconcile items in the reconciliation screen. I don't have a method like that to offer, but I wanted to respond because I'm fairly confident no one will have a strategy to offer like that. It's really meant to be a thorough line-by-line decision making process. In an ideal scenario, you wouldn't have many serialized units to reconcile because you would have found almost everything during the initial scanning count. Obviously, in your case, there's a lot to clean up. You can imagine why for accuracy they didn't design it to have bulk editing.
However, there is a way to bulk edit inventory items external of Flex, and then ingest the new information into your system. This is only performed by Flex themselves or one of the endorsed Flex consultants (Bigs or myself). Marking things as Presumed Missing is one of the editable fields. You could also potentially update your non-serialized quantities if everything is in your warehouse. Perhaps this strategy would be more efficient and effective since you have a lot of cleanup to do. There are caveats and details to discuss for this process, so let me know if I can assist with this process or anything else.
Let me know if I can be of assistance.
