Introduction

If you’ve submitted an inventory and made a mistake, you can go back into it and adjust the counts. It’s best to make any edits to an inventory not long after it was submitted so your count is accurate.

A history of all changes to the inventory are recorded in the timeline.

Note: Only edit a submitted inventory to fix counting mistakes. If you're taking a new full inventory count, start a new inventory instead. Each inventory count is a snapshot of the current stock at that time.

You can edit an inventory on both the mobile app and WISK Web Portal.

Mobile App

Note: You can only edit your four most recent inventory counts in the mobile app. If you need to edit an older inventory, use the WISK Web Portal.

Select an Inventory

Select the inventory that you need to edit:

  1. Tap “Inventories” along the bottom menu bar

    An arrow points to "Inventories" along the bottom menu bar.

  2. Tap “Inventories History”

    The "Inventories History" menu button is highlighted for emphasis.

  3. Tap an inventory on the Inventories History list

    The most recent inventory is highlighted, indicating it should be tapped.

Update Counts

The best method for editing an inventory depends on what you need to update.

  • If you need to make a number of changes to a specific area, going into that area is best (see By Area)

  • If there are specific items you need to update the counts for, adjust them from the "Inventory Review" screen (see By Item)

By Area

To edit one or more items in a specific area:

    The "Main Bar" area is highlighted indicating that it should be tapped.

  2. You can add new items to the area by using the scanner or search, or you can adjust the current counts by tapping “Review item counts”

    An arrow points to the "Review item counts" button

  3. You’re then on the "Current Scans" page. This shows you everything that was submitted in order in the area, and you can adjust the counts. You can scroll down or use the search bar to find the items you need to update

    This shows all the items that were counted in the area in the order they were submitted.

By Item
