Managing Inventory Events and Stand Sheets

Once an Inventory Event has been created, click Events in the left side menu and select 'Manage Events' from the dropdown. A list of events will be displayed based on the date range selected.

By default, all events from the current calendar month are displayed, showing their current status and actions available.

To edit details of the event and add/remove locations (vendors), select the event by clicking on its Event ID or Description. Select Save to ensure all changes made are processed. The event can now be Opened, and Stand Sheets printed.

1. To open an event, select the three-line icon and choose 'Open.'
   
   
   
   
2. A pop-up window will appear to set the start time of the event. Choose 'Now' to use current system time (Real-Time) or select 'Event Time from the dropdown menu which uses the Calendar Date & Start time specified.
3. 'Bring Items to Par' can also be turned on when opening the event.
4. Select 'Auto Count In' to pull the previous event's count out numbers to pre-fill the 'Count In.'
5. There is also an 'Autorefresh Standsheets When Opened' option that can be disabled. 
   
   
   
   
6. Once the settings are correct, choose 'Open.'

Notes:

• Delete an Inventory Event first before removing it from the Calendar.
• An inventory event can only be deleted if it's in created status.
• You can have multiple concurrent events open at the same time but only 1 event open per vendor at a time.
• Canceling an event rolls back all the inventory event settings but keeps a record for future reference.

Managing Standsheets

To view and manage stand sheets for the most current event, go to Events > Stand Sheets.

Note: Only Stand Sheets from the most current open event will be displayed.

1. Use the stand sheet action button next to the event on the 'Manage Events' page.
2. Click on the vendor you would like to enter counts against.
3. Select the green COUNT IN option in the top right-hand corner of the screen. You can now verify the ‘Act Count In’ Values. Waste, Comps and Count-Out values can also be entered
4. To complete entering counts for the standsheet, select the green COUNT OUT option in the top right hand corner (this should be done at the end of the event).
5. Click the ‘Vendor Sales’ button to view and compare variances with POS and Cashroom values for the vendor.
6. Once the stand has been validated and completed, click the ‘Close’ button to close the vendor.
7. When all vendor standsheets have been closed, the event can now be closed. Go to Events > Manage Events, click the ‘Close’ button next to the event you wish to close.

Note: An inventory event can only be closed when all vendor standsheets are closed 

Blank Counts

1. Select Inventory > Settings from the side menu.
2. Select the desired vendor you would like to update.

Use Zero: Enabling this option will auto-populate blank counts with zeros.

*Please contact your CSM or the Support team for any questions or configuration assistance.*
